[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When that happens, IMO, it means they leaned heavily on the National Merit Hispanic Recognition Program designation in apps.

Which seems .. lazy?[/quote]

Yes but it works

Works how? Plenty of kids claim to be Hispanic who are three generations away from speaking anything but English. It’s not making Dartmouth more diverse on anything but paper. [/quote]

Wouldn't that be illegal? They aren't supposed to use race.[/quote]
The Supreme Court has never ruled that consideration of race is "illegal" or otherwise impermissible.

In fact, the SFFA majority opinion noted that race-based admissions programs are okay "within the confines of narrow restrictions."

They found that the Harvard and UNC programs did not fall within those confines. That's it.[/quote]

pretty sure they said that racial preferences are illegal.[/quote]
Yeah, I mean if Dartmouth is picking Hispanic Recognition Scholars over non-URM “commended scholars” with the same scores, they are screwed. Can’t believe Dartmouth lawyers would be so stupid, but hubris is hubris.[/quote]
Seems unlikely to be that obvious. There aren't going to be written notes.[/quote]
