Thats not happening. [/quote]
Then who are they for? Schools will be careful to avoid different average scores for accepted students by race for the next few years...[/quote]

No.  Once it's transparent, people will scrutinize rejected pool too.  If they see all the high scorer white being rejected while low scorer white being accepted, there is something fishy.[/quote]

I'm fairly certain Trump's admin only sees the admitted students' stats, not the denied ones.[/quote]
Do we think the "algorithms" that shape classes will try to ensure admitted students' stats across races are closer this year?[/quote]

I don't know but I think that holistic reviews will all be done with an eye towards what this student will look like when stripped of all facts other than GPA & test score.[/quote]
Seems like contextual review of SAT scores may become more important this year.[/quote]
Can the initial score be lower if the applicant comes from a lower scoring school? Will that matter more this year? I think I've heard people call this landscape.[/quote]

Are you talking about College Board's Landscape tool?  That has been used post-pandemic.  
Basically, if you have 1580 among a sea of 1550s, it indicates you are from a well resourced school.
But if you have 1500 from a school having a median of 1300, then that's more impressive from an under-resourced school.
I would say the latter has advantage over the former, score-wise.

Nobody knows what would happen to Landscaping this year.  Lots of abrupt disruptions this year, sorta like the covid first year, maybe worse.
People will do a post mortem a year later when data is out.  [/quote]
NP. Agree with what you are saying, except that a high school with an average of 1300 is actually still a well-resourced high school in many parts of the country. Average-resourced high school will have a much lower average, like 1100.[/quote]
So is a 1480 or 1490 at an average 1100 school as helpful as a 1550 at a well resourced school?[/quote]
1550 at a well resourced school is not helpful at all if their average is 1550.  In a school like that, 1590 doesn't make you any different.  [/quote]
