[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are mostly private schools and thankfully look to have diverse student bodies, even if Jews and Asians think they rightfully should dominate every selective institution of higher learning.  [/quote]

If school wish to do this they should as a trade-off be required to report acceptance statistics based on demographics.

I.E.

Cohorts= legacy, athletic recruit, white, black, hispanic, asian, foreign national, male, female.

attributes = gpa, class rank, sat's, sat 2's, ap/ib exam scores.

A simple crosstab chart should be published just so parents/students can accurately judge their chances and be realistic.

Simply put, if the black-box of admissions became transparent, I do not think society would be comfortable with it.[/quote]

No.  Private institutions should not be required to define as "attributes" only things like test scores that certain groups believe would inure to their advantage.  [/quote]

I didn't say that's ALL that private institutions had to use for admissions. However they should release the data after each cycle so we can see what the stats are.

I.E.

If I wanted to know what the acceptance rate AND admissions statistics for white, unhooked, females, from familes making 75-100k for regular decision at a given school - that should be  made public.
