No it’s definitely the white class. There’s Asian students, but this is a college that already has a ton. The school I’m estimating halved its black population (yikes) and filled in with white students. There’s also fewer Hispanic students, but a lot more international students (read Beijing, London, Ukraine) |
Which ivies though. Some care about URM/race more than others - esp coming from east coast privates - bc they need that diversity while others have different pockets/ability to access diverse local pools. |
Agree. Biracial /multiracial kids who lean into that identity did very well in ‘28 |
DP, but it would turn me off to but for different reasons. Not trying to offend Asian Americans, but in college, they were the coldest students, the most competitive and most lacking in collaboration if you weren’t Asian, and Asian men were the first I’d have to speak out against in lab classes for taking equipment out of women’s hands or disrespecting other students in lab, because they were women or students of color. I’m sure they’re the best students on paper, but they were a constant red flag in my science department for being massive douches to everyone else |
Colleges look to a students’ extracurriculars and their essays to determine race, and then they look at the transcript to determine if said student can do the work.
Apparently this is against the law, but this past admission cycle I saw it in action. I know of one student in particular who got admitted into two of the hardest schools in the country (non ivies) with a transcript that was shockingly weak, relying on online schools and easy DE classes to secure a 4.0. It worked! |
The biggest drop was from Princeton and Harvard. Columbia had a slight gain in black students, while other ivies had the same black acceptances. Asian students climbed a little at Brown, but every other college accepted fewer than the past 5 years |
Eh I know an Indian girl who did online school and a few women in computing groups that got her into MIT. Online school is a big advantage |
how in the world do you know this? It's not been published anywhere that I can find. |
Are schools weary of students who game the system this way? It seems not, but it’s such an obvious ploy to get an easy A. |
“Almost certainly” You speak with such authority. Add some citations or else you are just blowing hot air. |
Comparing naviances and past graduation pages to current graduation college page (fully complete). Historically this was the schools worst year for Asian students, but best year for everyone else. |
Did not happen. |
They’re completely unaware. One massive red flag zone is Las Vegas (massive online education system integrated with public schools so students can take aps off campus, but there’s a ton of cheating) |
You still don’t have to check it. My white kid didn’t last year. He was in at several T10/20. I suspect the ruling helped some |
Colleges are following the ruling. They do not want to face negative repercussions. |
