[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Under represented minorities have to compete with other under represented minorities. [/b]Their average SATs are lower because they tend to have lower average SATs as a group. The Harvard Crimson released their application statistics and the racial breakdown closely mirrored the racial breakdown of each class (http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2015/2/6/admissions-applications-2019-record-high/ compare with https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics). They might be a few percentage points off but the difference is negligible.

Umm....you just proved that racial quotas exist.

I'm not sure if that was your intent.

What HYPS will NEVER do unless supreme court or feds withhold research/grant money is release ADMISSIONS statistics along with application stats (race plus gpa, scores, athletic/musical hook data, legacy, etc) in a crosstab sheet.

Caltech, Cal, UCLA do not have races compete only against each other. they compete in a blind pool. [/quote]

No, it doesn't prove that quotas exist. Quotas imply that there are limits on the amount of specific races they admit, which no one who doesn't work in admissions will be able to prove. Selecting about the same % of applicants of each race is not a quota. [/quote]
