[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this makes zero sense to me.

Stephen millier's minions are not reading essays or looking at activities sections.

They are simple minded.

They are interested in seeing 
White - avg GPA.  avg SAT
Black - avg GPA .. avg SAT

and if the black admits have SATs lower than whites, they'll say it's anti-white somehow.

colleges will LOVE kids who signal black or hispanic race in essay or affinity membership AND deliver a 1530.

that's my feeling. [/quote]

Mine did with a 1500.

Trump can kick rocks.[/quote]
Or maybe they will love kids who are Asian or White this year with slightly lower stats to show all groups have a similar distribution.[/quote]

And rejecting 1580+ Asian kids?

Gosh, can you have some common sense?[/quote]

The highest score doesn't get the prize though. Wy haven't you learned that yet?[/quote]
Insanely naive.  You really don't think they will scrutinize rejected pool to see who got rejected and what race.[/quote]

But if they admit lower scoring white and asian kids, who cares if the rejected pool is ..... wait for it.... white and asian????
here's the thing:
they don't want "bots". Ask your kid what that means. They actually try and filter for that characteristic. Sadly, most prevalent in east asian and south asian males (but also some females). A growing number of white males in STEM fields, too have "bot" attributes.

So - make your application as non-bot-like as possible.

You are getting this wrong.  Your suggestion is a good one, but this is not what we are talking about here.

The orange man will only look at the big picture.  They will look at the rejection pool, they will ask why certain race with high stats got rejected all the time.  They will say this is a proxy for race-based admission.  You really don't see that?  Really really safe practice?[/quote]

Schools have a right to yield protect. They can use that as the reasoning whether it is true or not. [/quote]
