Stop lying. You'd think these "top colleges" would be overrun with URMs. The URMs (8% of the total student population if you are lucky) would manage to squeak in have the stats, the ECs and everything else. [/quote]

If admission was purely based on stats, URMs would be 1% of the students not 8%. They are massively over represented.[/quote]
+1 It's not about representation of the US population, but about the representation of the applicant body.  Asian Americans and white students apply at a higher rate to top colleges compared to URM. That is why there are a lot more Asian Americans, and that is also why the stats for URM are much lower. There aren't as many high performing URM, so when the few who do apply, get in with lower stats.[/quote]

There are actually tons of high-stats Black kids out there. I remember seeing a chance me from a Black kid from New York who had an 800M/750V and a high GPA who ended up at NYU CS. He was rejected by most of the other schools he applied to, including MIT.

Schools like Creighton or Seton Hall might have trouble getting high-stats Black kids, but the schools people obsess about here don’t.

And schools like HYPSM have no problem with admitting Black kids with stats comparable to what the Asian kids have. The gap there will be in the ECs and awards. [/quote]

No, there aren't a lot black students that have the stats,

I mean just look at the racial breakdown for SAT or ACT scores.

It creates resentment.

Blacks have a much easier time with college admissions.

Compared to Asians. Or whites. Or pretty much anyone.

Just stop. What you are alleging isn't accurate and lacks context. YOU create your own resentment by making yourself the victim. Your racism is on full display now. [/quote]

People are getting tired of being told what is obvious isn’t true, whether it’s that the protest was peaceful as a large building burns down, the border is closed, or that there are tons of high-stat URMs.[/quote]
