That's what TO does. Too bad schools don't have enough balls to show admission statistics of those who submit SAT scores and those who don't.

How can they show SAT scores from people who didn't submit them? I don't think the schools could get them even if they tried to buy them? Can they?

You submit after you accept for most schools. Or you have to attest that you never took the test.

Yeah right. Idiotic.

And yet they took a bunch of 1400s because of skin color.
That is what makes it racist.

Test scores are not the only factor for admission. they are not putting all the kids in an ordered list by test score and creating a cuttoff where they accept everyone above and no one below. That is what you want, but that will never happen.

They had no racial data to rely on, so you are just assuming all the 1400s are black for just reasons? Vibes? Or do you just assume that blacks are not as smart? There can't be enough of them that exist in the United States to fill a percentage of ivy league schools beyond 1%.

The 99th percentile is ~1400. 23% of asians and 7% of whites get that score.
Nobody is doing rank order admissions based on SAT scores. Almost nobody is arguing for 70% asians at every top school with 3% black, 3% hispanic and 24% white.

You say nobody is arguing as if what you argue matters. It doesn't. Test are one set of information about a student. They are not deal-breakers.

The gap is enormous.
A standard deviation difference in scores should be a deal breaker.

Well that is your opinion but who cares you are not king. In my opinion we should not let in kids who have green hair but lookey I am not in charge. I don't know why you feel that just because you feel really strongly about something, that is the way it should go?
