Looks very much like racial discrimination against Asian students.

We'll see the outcome from the US Supreme Court.

If I was part of admissions committee and received the aggregate feedback of  2 LORs and guidance counselor ( from kid's own school!) and alumni interviewer about a given applicant,  I'm not surprised that the personality score was low.

As the lower courts have ruled, this doesn't prove discrimination.

And...what in the heck does this have to do with affirmative action? Whites are being compared to Asians in the chart,  not URMs.[/quote]

?? why? Asian students are on par on LORs and have higher score on interview.

They were being nice, so only compared it to Whites.
Imagine comparing it to Blacks/Hispanics   [/quote]

The lower scores came from the applicant's own teachers and guidance counselor!

The alumni interviewer's score was low.

THREE relatively low scores from three different sources.

The admissions committee reviews thousands of applications: they are not going to meet most applications in person. Their scoring is based on the data received.

No discrimination.

Weak "evidence" and probably cherry picked.

You seem to have trouble reading data:

Alumni interviewer = much higher than white
Teacher rec1 = a bit higher than white
Teacher rec2 = a bit higher than white
Personal interviewer = a bit higher than white
Guidance counselor = a bit lower than white

AO = much lower than white

There is clearly racial discrimination going on.  
WTF are you going on about?[/quote]

So perhaps their essays were not as good/warm/fuzzy as the others.  [/quote]
I'm sure Harvard said the same about those Jews. [/quote]

When 96%+ are rejected, it is not about race.  It's about small nuances and yes, there will be asians who get in and have the "it" factor most T25 want.  There will also be some asians with a mostly great package, but who seem a bit to "box check'ed style" and not genuinely intellectually curious/go change the world person.  Guess what that person may not get in---the same person who is white/black/latino/asian/other may also not get in.  Because the essays mean something---AO can tell who is genuine and who is "pay to play"/just clicking boxes.  Does not mean they are racist.  You keep arguing about the rejection, when 96%+ get rejected....people of all races get rejected.  [/quote]
