[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some truly dense people on DCUM who keep saying URMs are unqualified based test scores.  This isn't China!  If you want a system based entirely on test scores, you are in the wrong country. [/quote]

It's actually test scores and every other observable metric. What you have to rest on is that somehow the things you can't observe are significantly better for URMs. That seems unlikely.[/quote]

Actually, you are wrong. I think if you take a child in a poor school district that score within the Ivy Index they probably have a higher capacity to learn than somebody that has a good school system and test prep with a 300 pt higher score. Like seriously if you are really that smart and have all the opportunities in the world and you ONLY score 300 more, that points to being not as adequate.[/quote]

For the 100 millionth time, 'every other observable metric' is not equal to SAT/ACT score[/quote]

Sadly for you, Harvard says otherwise.  [/quote]

Sorry for you, Supreme Court will say otherwise[/quote]

Sorry for you but Harvard will just gerrymander its standards to achieve the same results.  No soup for you![/quote]

Whatever they do, better not break the laws.  [/quote]
