She can beat them but being an Asian, she is in a limited quota group so less desirable than underachievers of other quota groups.

It is a fallacy that that there is a quota, and it is a fallacy that the kids who got into whatever school you are talking about are underachievers. They do not force rank admissions based on a single test, nor should they.

If no qouta, why use race in admission?
Who said single test??

You can only listen. I think the link is on the SCOTUS website IIRC.

Sure. But country clubs are not required to admit people who ace the SAT ahead of charismatic, well-connected, socially adept people.

I'm less concerned about letting in some URM kids who score lower than rich legacies (mostly white) who use money to buy their way in, a la the Trumps and Bushes.

If universities can let in whomever they want, then why can't they let in URM who may not score higher than a rich white kid?

Universities have been using legacies forever, including as a way to keep the "undesirables" out.

Fix that first. All it does it keep the privilege within a group of mostly rich white people.

If this reversed, how will this affect legacy preference?

Are you arguing for a university-level policy that might be adopted by a particular school? Sure, I agree, excellent policy.

Are you arguing that the Constitution requires every single college and university in America to adopt that policy? I don’t see it.

No they give required qualification criteria equally to every individual, and don't discrminate with race.
Imangine a country club saying "oh we already hae 30% Blacks. that's too many, so we are not accepting more Blacks at this time".
