Stunning. If you are Black and in the 4th (!!) academic decile (below average!!), you have the same chance as an Asian in the 10th decile, and a better chance than a white student in the 9th decile. Unless you are an athlete or legacy, if you are Asian or white, you are kind of screwed. I am sure Harvard does not like this kind of data to make the world news, hence the shift in policy. The pandemic just provided a good excuse.
I do wonder what will happen to the quality of a Harvard education now that H is focusing more and more on social engineering. Will the top students group into certain majors? Or will classes be watered down to fit the social experiment? I already know H grades are meaningless. Will a H diploma be meaningless soon, too? (I am exaggerating - I know it won't be literally meaningless)[/quote]

Wow, aren’t yet giving too much preference to the Blacks over Hispanics? Is it the George Floyd effect or it has been even before the BLM? [/quote]

Pp herr If anything blacks get shafted compared to Hispanics.

Ados have a legitimate claim to affirmative action

Hispanics should get 0 affirmative action

I would be totally ok Harvard doubling black enrollment but making Hispanics compete with Asians and whites and Jews

No, I repeat, no people game the system more than Hispanics[/quote]
