[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone who always argue that asians have a harder time getting into top schools because all they have are high gpa's and test scores:

The group said its expert found that Asian-American applicants are "significantly stronger than all other racial groups in academic performance.[b]They also perform very well in non-academic categories and have higher extracurricular scores than any other racial group[/b]." Their personal ratings were relatively low, especially among admissions officers who hadn't met them. Alumni interviewers who had met these prospective students gave them top personal ratings.

The memo filed with the court said Harvard's own internal investigation in 2013 concluded that its admissions system was biased against Asian Americans. But instead of addressing the problem, "Harvard killed the investigation and buried the reports." [/quote]

This is why I don't think AA proponents can be so confident that Kennedy would side with them like he did under Fisher.

I think if this case makes it to SCOTUS, it will force a lot of changes (not saying AA will be dropped). I think it will be a catalyst to use SES based AA[/quote]

Kennedy is solid on AA.[/quote]

doesn't matter anymore.
