[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet some posters (or the same 2-3) on this thread continued to repeat TO is only for URM applications (black kids specifically) and athletes, even though we know, based on the numbers, TO is benefiting white and Asian.[/quote] What are the numbers that show us this? As Asians do better on tests than any other group, how could removing tests as a metric possibly benefit them?[/quote] Hey, Dumbo. Not every Asian scores 1600. And YES there are Asian students at Harvard who applied TO. You aren't helping.[/quote] Heu, Dumbo, Asians were 48,527 out of the 133,962 kids who scored over 1400 (i.e. they were 36% of the highest scorers even though only 10% of the people who took the test) and therefore writ large TO does not benefit Asians. If everyone had to report their scores, Asians would benefit because they do better than other groups. [/quote]
