[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The URM hook adds some interestingness (from the admission office's perspective) to the applicant in the bigger context of holistic admissions. It doesn't mean that URMs admitted to Harvard aren't of sufficient academic strength, even if their scores as a group average a little lower. The problem for Harvard isn't so much the lower test scores for URMs. It's the lower ratings on the personality scale for Asians within the system by which the college tries to quantify subjective qualities.[/quote] I'm black and I 100% agree with you. The stereotyping of Asians in this process is disgusting to me. What amazes me is that based on what has happened to black people in this country why would any group deemed as "other" think they are immune to to bias and stereotyping. [/quote]
