I know you wouldn't know. Enjoy your ignorance.

Yea right some kids born in 2005 should be sacrificed for your kids because of slavery.

Racial policies in college admission have nothing to do with slavery, reparations or guilt.

Racial policies in college admissions exist so colleges can build the classes THEY WANT based on criteria THEY SELECT. End period.

Which they are free to do with any criteria as long as they don't break the law. And yes that means they can take an athlete with lower SAT scores, or a talented singer, or a civic leader, or the son of a donor, or yes, someone of an under-represented race.

Don't take my word for it. Ask one college administrator, then another. Just f-king ask them why they have the policy. They'll tell you, in detail. But you won't ask them, because you don't want the answer.

All races benefit from this policy where they are under-represented. This includes asians at top LACs and whites at Howard. You people don't know what you are talking about. You don't understand and you don't want to. You just want to talk about the lucky minorities and how they are oppressing you. It is pathetic.

These points remain mostly ignored because they do not comport with embraced narratives.

Asians don't want free points at any school.
They just want fair and square competition.

Clearly your definition of "fair and square" competition does not align with the standards Harvard uses. Are Harvard's standards unfair because they don't give you the outcome you desire?

Harvard standard is unfair because it discriminates based on race.
Do I have to tell you this after 70 some pages?

70 pages later I have yet to see the evidence of discrimination.

As any statistician will tell you, %s can be deceiving.

What is the breakdown/number of applicants? What is the breakdown/number of admittees?

+1 without raw numbers the chart is meaningless.

If 40000 White people applied and only 1000 AA that’s meaningful , if it’s opposite well that would be wild

Why does it matter? Is it ok to subject applicants to different standard based on race if few applicants of a certain race apply?

Yes it matters. 60000 applicants, if 59000 are white and 1 is other and the 1 is accepted they have 100% acceptance rate vs 3% acceptance … looks pretty bad and if that 1 is not accepted it’s looks like 0% acceptance.

They only take 2000 people so % not accepted will be large if the # applied is high.

Thank you SO much for explaining this so clearly. While I think some comments in this thread have been willfully obtuse, I hope that your explanation will provide lightbulb moments for people who genuinely want to understand the statistics and what they might actually mean.

Thanks for your positive feedback… I actually thought oh wait maybe people don’t understand the math, let me explain it.

I think it would also be interesting to see the rankings of the kids that GOT accepted vs those that didnt WITHIN the individual race groups. Would Asian Americans still be pissed if an Asian kid who scored lower than their kid got in? Or is it just when they "LOSE" a spot to an unqualified black person?

Keep in mind that this suit is — or at least may be — less about Asian Americans being “pissed” and more about groups like “Students for Fair Admissions” pushing an anti- affirmative action agenda while encouraging members of minority groups to fight amongst themselves.
“Fairness” sounds great — but I’m quite suspicious of the motives of those whose concerns about “fairness” only popped up as members of minority groups finally began to gain access to resources like high quality higher education.

It's about turning asian americans towards the right.

FFS, some of you just don't get it. Your ideology and need to put everything into binary thought (right/left, black/white, etc.) is not productive. The majority of the people in this country focus on issues that have an impact on their family. Next time have a little respect and capitalize Asian Americans.

I honestly don't care whether those student bodies are 30% black or 3% black, so long as the admissions factors are race-neutral. I don't want a college excluding or including anyone because of the color of their skin.

At lot of Asians come from countries where test scores are the determining factor for state college admission (in some countries private universities is a very new thing). It is all they know. Study hard, get good grades and test scores so you can hopefully get into a good state university. It is why some can't understand why the same process does not work, and will never work, in the U.S. Private institutions will always find a way to gerrymander the applicants to get the desired mix of students.
Most people who say this mean they want a way to game admissions in their favor. The last thing they want is a fair process.

Nothing in elite private college admissions is "fair."

They are the "sellers" here and will pick whomever they want to shape a class.

For about the millionth time on this thread, this isn't about the Asian American applicants who just had good grades/SATs. They were ranked very highly on ECs, recommendations, interviewers, etc as well.

This trope of Asians focused on grades is a red herring at this point.
It's the only thing they can use to support race conscious admissions.

Well, you all seem to be so focused on the test scores of "unqualified" black students that it would seem that those scores are the only criteria that matters.

Well no they are also using the very important and objective criterion, "Asians are boring and blacks are cool".

Sorry Asians, but Harvard is 386 years old and they can't pollute their brand with high levels of your boringness.

Why would you go to a school with 80+% of the same race.

Important to who? It's not at all important to me. I get nothing out of it. In fact it imposes significant costs on me.

I would go to school "with 80+% of the same race" because school is about learning not about being around other races.

Yes, school is about learning, but much of the learning that school is about takes place outside of the classroom. Students learn a lot from their fellow students; they learn many things that will be important to take forward into their adult lives.

College admissions officers know this. That is why they want to put together diverse classes where all the students can learn different lessons from each other.

Nebulous concept.
Please share the long-term studies with statistics (GPA, GRE/LSAT/MCAT scores, postgraduate study acceptance rates, graduation rates, avg starting salaries, etc.) proving "diverse" classes foster a climate of success for ALL students.

Nobody has to show you that. There doesn't need to be empirical proof. Colleges get to decide what their important criteria is as long as they don't violate the law.

Have you ever hired anyone? Or interviewed for a job even? Was there empirical proof utilized in a formula for those decisions? No? You mean they just hired the people they thought would be good for the company? Even if you thought there was a better applicant?

+1

Agree. But as an immigrant, I would have appreciated someone tell me 1.) test scores are not the only way to get an education in the U.S. and 2.) Not everyone can go "ivy" 3.) Plenty of Americans attend great schools, too 4.) Everyone goes to college nowadays, which means the US is now as competitive as any other country. Lastly, 5.) the "stupid American" sentiment is overused - and no longer accurate



Good points. Did you not go to any meetings at school about the college admissions process and the steps to take? Did you (or your child) not have a guidance counselor to answer questions about the process?

If I were an immigrant in a different country, I would assume that the college admissions process in that country would be different from that in my country of origin and I would ask a lot of questions and do my own research to find out how to access the application process.

Nope.

High stats and one dimensional.

The personal rating stuff was based on teacher recommendations, interviews ( have to show SOME personality), essays, etc.


Considering that Asians get "positive bias" in schooling K-12 from teachers because it's assumed that they're smart, any assessment on non academic aspects is fair game.

The courts didn't find any discrimination. Asians are overrepresented on college campuses. They will continue to be, which is great, but they're not being discriminated against.

So will people still complain when there is no increase in the number of admitted Asian students post AA?

I don't care about the number as long as there's no discrimination and system is fair enough.
After the one step toward progress, I'll focus on complaining about SLDC

Nope, wrong. Look at the chart. Recommendations and interviewers rated them highly. Only the people in the admissions office who hadn't met them rated their personalities worse.

So much trafficking in stereotypes.

Actually, as a WOC at a HYP, a few decades ago, I was flat out told that I should be an educational experience for the other (presumably white) students. More than once. So perhaps you’re missing some quite deliberate learning experiences that at least some people at at least one top tier school have in mind for their students. After all, perhaps it’s harder to be a Master of the Universe without at least some brief experience with the wider Universe.

Lol race-neutral…. Let’s create a selection criteria that picks me and my people that just doesn’t include “race”

LOL. If you really can’t think of any race-neutral criteria that include URMs within their scope, then you’re probably not college material anyway.

Share yours oh wise one.

Why does it matter? Is it ok to subject applicants to different standard based on race if few applicants of a certain race apply?

Yes it matters. 60000 applicants, if 59000 are white and 1 is other and the 1 is accepted they have 100% acceptance rate vs 3% acceptance … looks pretty bad and if that 1 is not accepted it’s looks like 0% acceptance.

They only take 2000 people so % not accepted will be large if the # applied is high.

So if it's hypothetically far more skewed than it actually is, then the numbers matter in your hypothetical. Great

No. You need the numbers, the % is literally meaningless.

As long as the numbers are large enough, you don't need specifics. In this case, Harvard gets about 6,000 black applicants a year

And that’s only meaningful if you ALSO know how many applicants Harvard gets in the other categories.
