[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Harvard, there were 39,041 applicants for the Class of 2020. Only 2,106 were admitted. Of those, just 289 were African-American. If Harvard just didn't accept any Black students, regardless of qualifications, that would mean the non-Black admission rate would go up by 0.7%. Don't blame affirmative action for your child's rejection. There 99 other reasons he didn't get in and affirmative action isn't one of them. [/quote] Ahh., but my child did get accepted so that is not the issue. However, raw numbers of acceptances do not tell the whole story. Take a broad cross reference of elite schools and you will see that URMs are getting accepted with stats that would drop kick an Asian or white kid before the essays were even read. [/quote]
