I understand most of your comments. However, I really don't appreciate how you seem to take advantage of the fact that certain groups are not well represented in schools and get special treatment for admissions.
I know it is a common practise to admit depending on diversity and quota, but I feel that others that might have been qualified to enter a top program and have better opportunities in life are being robbed of their chances.

When I researched schools, I had the same concerns about MBA programs as did the fellow from Ohio State. I only researched top 5 programs but I found that:
Stanford, Columbia, and MIT had great programs. Their minority student outreach was particularly active and went above and beyond the call of duty to answer any of my questions.
I would really avoid HBS and Tuck. Tuck had an especially awful attitude toward my questions about minorities. HBS students almost seemed condescending.
