[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By no means am I an expert but even I know that if you are an URM you should bring it up in your application. Whether it helps or not is debatable and no one this forum knows for sure one way or another. [/quote] It absolutely helps. It helps more than it is supposed to but much less than it used to. I don't know if we will ever get to a level playing field but i suspect that once the top schools go test required, we will see a moderate amount of affirmative action. If the SAT score differentials remain high the lawsuits will continue.[/quote] FFS the fact that a greater number of one group scored at a certain level is not relevant when comparing individuals. A first generation ESOL student with a 1530 is being compared to a legacy Mayflower student with a 1530. Why does any care at all that a great number of immigrant ESOL students score much lower? They aren't the ones Harvard is evaluating for admission [/quote]
