[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT thresholds have always been uneven by race.  Asian-Americans are full 200-300 points above Blacks and 100-150 points above Whites.  I am glad that it is being removed.  What equity? My Asian-American kids with perfect GPAs, with toughest course loads and with near perfect SATs and with parents who have saved for college all their lives seems like that they have been always ready for pandemic, civil unrest, racism and global warming.  When you are given nothing and your hard earned things are snatched away from you - you become the students no one can subjugate. [/quote]

Unfortunately, it's not just higher SAT scores. Asian applicants still lose out to blacks even with 300 more points and lose out to whites even with 150 more points in college admissions to top schools. Sad but true.[/quote]

Qualify this please.  To certain top schools, but not where Asians are URMs.[/quote]
most schools where Asians are URM are not as sought after.   Look at the schools that are considered "elite". Then look at the demographics of those schools.

Nobody cares about what nonelite schools do because it's already easier to get into those schools.[/quote]
