What a play on numbers!!  LMAO!

So if hypothetically, the entire TJ freshman class had:

1 black student last year only

4 black students this year only

300% increase!!!

A more honest look would be at the underlying numbers.  Not % increase only[/quote]

Someone else did this already. It confirmed that the numbers for Hispanic students increased by a larger raw number than white students did.

Here's another way to look at the data that controls somewhat for variance in application numbers: Which group saw the biggest increase in success rate - that is, percentage of applied students offered admission?

In 2024:

White - 86 admitted/595 applied = 14.4% admit rate
Black - TS admitted/160 applied = .... tough to say. Let's be as charitable as possible and say that 9 were admitted because that's the largest number possible. 9/160 = 5.6% admit rate
Hispanic - 16/208 = 7.7% admit rate

In 2025:

White - 123/726 = 16.9% admit rate (delta: 2.5%)
[i]Black - 39/272 = 14.3% admit rate (delta: 8.7% at minimum but likely much higher)[/i]
[b]Hispanic - 62/295 = 21.0% admit rate (delta: 13.3%)[/b]

By this metric, which is a perfectly logical way of looking at the data, white students benefited the LEAST among all of the underrepresented groups from the admissions changes.[/quote]
