“Yes,” Gee responded. “Let me be clear on something, the entire practice of college admissions needs to be re-examined. It needs to be overhauled. It needs to be a completely different system.”
More from Gee & Ursula:Gee dislikes putting race on applications “because you can just say, I’m white, and you can be all types of ethnicities and be from all over the world and say that you’re white, but when you’re Black or African American on there, there it is, right there, you can’t escape that.”
“Jeanette also takes part in sports but has a slightly lower GPA. of 3.8. Not as many AP classes, but she has been working a full-time job to help support her single mom. She’s Native American, she volunteers a lot of her spare time helping tribal kids stay in school. She’s the president of that program, she would be the first person in her family to go to college. She has a good ACT, but it’s slightly lower than Spencer’s at a 32.
Ursula said that was the whole point, but Gee went on to reiterate that the system needs to be overhauled. “I, as the admissions counselor, should not have that choice in my hands. I should not have that. That’s idiotic for this to continue to happen. I shouldn’t have that power.” Gee was also for the lottery system. “Minimum test score, minimum GPA, you’re thrown into the lottery, there is an actual system. And now you are giving a getting away from it being subjective, the problem we have is the power of this being subjective in these decisions.”
