[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entities that accept federal funding should not choose to serve one person over another solely based on their skin color. Full stop.

If you don't agree with that, we have nothing left to say to each other.

No colleges base their acceptance on one criterion.[/quote]

They choose URMs with the same or lower stats-- and every subjective measure-- in astounding numbers.[/quote]

When you look at the enrollment numbers for Ivies and top 20 schools, including publics, the URM enrollment is between 8 and 20 percent. So what is happening? Are many URMs offered admission in "astounding numbers" but ultimately don't enroll? Is the pool so small that URM applicants to top tier universities get into 8 out of 10 schools within the top 20 schools. You would think HYP would be 40+% URM students based on DCUM. [/quote]

It’s an excuse for people whose kids didn’t get in.  It can’t be that their kid is great but just wasn’t what the school was looking for or didn’t have that special something the Ivies like.  Nope, they must scapegoat the URMs.[/quote]

Have you really not heard about the fact (fact.) that Asians need hundreds of points more than URMs on the SAT to get into the most selective schools?[/quote]
