The numbers show discrimination - just not in the way that you think.


How is it discrimination that schools aren’t giving black people unnecessary boosts in admission? California is about 5% black and Pomona draws heavily from California. Why was it ever 14% black?


And Harvey Mudd now has 3% black students.

Both are national LACs and draw students from all across the country, which is 12% black.

How on earth is

Black students face discrimination in the admissions process, leading to their diminished representation.

What percentage of applicants are domestic Black?

Harvey mudd is a top stem school that demands students come in with a strong background. If you look at how poor black students do on standardized exams compared to other students, 3% is pretty great!

+1, Harvey mudd actually over-represents black students. It should be less than 1% black.

But that’s the crux of the problem. The republicans have dismantled DEI on every level, allowing the massive increase of Asians into our universities.

I don’t see what the problem is.


The problem is we need DEIA restored to stop the increasing percentage of Asian/Indian students gaining admission to the T50 universities.


DEI will not be restored without a new Supreme Court and significant legislative action. That could take decades, if ever.


The ever-increasing percentage of Asians/Indians at the T50 universities is 100% the republicans’ fault.

They are the ones who created all the conditions for the S.Ct to pass the devastating Students for Fair Admissions decision at the S.Ct.

i can’t tell if you are a woke DEI troll or a MAGA white nationalist troll, as both could potentially be against the idea of Asian students gaining admission to selective schools in large numbers. Which is it?

The average SAT score at Mudd is a 1540. The only “discrimination” black students face at places like that is that very, very few black applicants score that high.

It seems obvious to me PP is sarcastic. Surprised that isn’t obvious to you too.

Such an assertion appears to rely on the accuracy of a site known as MeetYourClass.

Don't look at poor Black students. Look across income levels. Poorer students of all races have lower scores. Wealthier students who receive significant SAT prep (and whose schools get them the right math courses earlier), score higher on the SATs. It's a simple formula: more prep = better standardized scores, no matter who you are.

And across the US, there are now substantially more than 3% of Black students blowing tests out of the water. Legacy kids and recruited athletes are also taking up spots with sub-optimal stats.

You are incorrect. Current numbers sit at 3.5% black at Harvey Mudd: https://www.hmc.edu/institutional-research/institutional-statistics/institutional-statistics-students/student-enrollment-raceethnicity/

They meant "poor" as in "poorly". What's your evidence that more than 3% of Black students are "blowing tests out of the water"? Before racial discrimination in admissions was made illegal by the supreme court, black students had a lower testing bar to clear. Black students scoring above 1500 were like catnip for elite university AOs, as there were maybe only a couple dozen such African American students in the country
