[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A study by Georgetown University found that with a test score-only admissions system, 21% of Asian American students would lose their seats at the nation’s most selective colleges.

Holistic admissions benefits Asians too.

I'll give the Georgetown authors credit, they didn't hide the data that undermined their conclusions deep in the appendices.  It is right there at the link, but you missed it.
They said going to test only admissions, would boost Asian admissions by about 20%, going from 12% to 14% of students.
That 21% of Asians who are losing their seats, are losing them mostly to other Asians.  They said low scoring Asians are more likely to apply.

Georgetown doesn't have a reason to "hide" anything.

The study stands as is.

And don't forget that Georgetown is one the few elite private colleges that are not test optional.[/quote]
