[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the standout statistic for me from the article, since we talk endlessly about legacy on DCUM: “Legacy students in the top one percent are five times more likely to be admitted than a non-legacy student, while legacy candidates poorer than the top 10 percent are only three times more likely to get into an elite school. And because legacy candidates are predominantly white, “alumni preference” policies put Asian students at a particular disadvantage, research shows — a problem that is likely to continue even in the post-affirmative-action era.”[/quote] A few posters, including myself, said this would be one of the fallouts of the supreme court’s decision. At many of the elite private schools many of the spots that don’t go to URM‘s will go to wealthy applicants not Asian American non-hooked students.[/quote]
