[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More evidence that athletic, legacy, donor and children of faculty and staff (ALDC) are by far the most strongly advantaged in the admissions process. http://public.econ.duke.edu/~psarcidi/legacyathlete.pdf Using the data disclosed in the lawsuit, the researchers modeled it and came to several conclusions. From the abstract: published a bunch of findings including: Holistic admissions favors students in these categories, not minorities or first gen students (unless they are also in one of these groups). [b]43% of Harvard white admits fall into the above categories[/b]. Three-quarters of those admitted ALDCs would be rejected without those hooks based on their academic records. Only by removing prefs for legacy and athletes will you change the admission rates of non-white racial and ethnic groups. [/quote] Which would make it more challenging for non-hooked white applicants to get in, would it not?[/quote]
