[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What matters with is what's going to be like from now on.

It'll be race blind for all schools.

Some like MIT, GIT, UF, UG, etc. will requrire test scores.
Some like UCB, UCLA, CalTech will be test blind.
Many will be Test Optional.

So game on.[/quote]

You act like those are the only options.

HYP could recruit all their students as they do athletes.  That'd actually be LESS work for them and they would get whoever they wanted.

That's right, Larlo might not be even able to apply.  HYP skims the cream before everyone else's ED deadline.

Be careful what you wish for!

CalTech is already sort of doing that.
Its actually already test blind and sort of color blind. 
Blacks 6%[/quote]
Let's be honest, though.. not a whole lot of black kids going into STEM.[/quote]

Uh-oh, the race troll has found his way into this thread.[/quote]

NP. So you dispute this statement? I’m Asian and am in tech and I do a ton of interviewing and maybe maybe get a black candidate every 15 interviews.  I’ve been doing this for 20 years and it’s always been this way. [/quote]
I'm the PP who made the comment about not a lot of black people in STEM, and I also have been working in high tech for 20 years, most of it in Silicon Valley.   I could count on one hand the number of Black people I've worked with in the past 20 years, and I've worked with some big name tech companies.[/quote]

My apologies. There have been many trolling comments on this thread, and your initial statement seemed like it might be trying to rile people up. Now that you've explained it, I can see you were just making a statement of your experience.

One in 15 seems about right. Around 7% of jobs in STEM fields are filled by blacks.[/quote]
