[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what that interviewer was saying is that not all aspects of the application are visible to you. Race is, so you latch onto that. Easier than accepting that perhaps, when MULTIPLE factors are taken into account (including the mix of kids they want to constitute that year’s incoming class)...your DD was not in the 94th percentile. Maybe she is in the 90th, of the whole United States, which is great...but someone beat her out. It’s okay. Not abusive. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone is latching onto race, but you can’t deny that do take it into consideration, truly do. The ones that do - if I was a URM, I would apply in a heartbeat. That said, over 3/4 of Americans, including URM’s do not want race to be a reason to receive admission

Harvard’s freshman class is still mostly white - it just didn’t accept your white mix.

Fifty-eight percent of respondents identify as white, compared to 62 percent of respondents to The Crimson’s 2014 survey of the Class of 2018. About 30 percent of respondents identify as Asian or South Asian; just more than 12 percent as Hispanic or Latino; 11 percent as black or African American; 1 percent as American Indian or Alaskan Native; and 1 percent as Pacific Islander.
