[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The opinion was clear. Schools can’t use the checkbox anymore but [b]can take race into account in admissions.[/b] You aren’t shooting in the dark. Write about being a URM. [/quote] This is not true. They cannot take race into consideration. They can consider discussions about race. if the applicant writes a compelling essay about some adversity they overcame or how they were inspired by their particular racial background, etc. but they can't simply get a preference for being black.[/quote] So in a long winded manner, they [b]can[/b] take race into account.[/quote] No. The same essay should garner the same credit if it is written by a sikh in the wake of 9/11 or an east asian during the anti-asian covid stuff. It's not the race itself that confers the benefit. This has shifted the discussion from wealthy black kids to less affluent black kids.[/quote]
