[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a nice story, but absent AA, a 1408 SAT score would be in the unqualified bucket for Harvard[/quote]

No, you are 100% wrong, you either can't read or are in denial. I am guessing you read just fine, so....

THEY.  ARE.  ALL.  QUALIFIED.

Harvard doesn't see strata within the qualified category as you do.  They don't see it because it doesn't exist in practicality.  That strata makes no difference to them.[/quote]

The average African American SAT section score is a 704. If you believe that a 1408 gets you into Harvard, I have a bride to sell you. [/quote]

So the data posted at 11/17/2021 15:02 is a lie?

/ps already have a bride, thanks.[/quote]

1408 plus URM gets you in. 1408 and white or asian gets laughed at. [/quote]

What is your point? Harvard doesn’t have to accept anyone based on SAT scores. I don’t get these arguments. Many people on this board think that Harvard’s admissions should be a merit-based and by that GPA and testing scores. [b]Even if AA were eliminated, do you really think the Harvard student demographics would look much different?[/b] [/quote]

We already have a case study with UC Berkley, and yes the demographics did change[/quote]

So a predominantly Asian Harvard? Ok.[/quote]

Man this and a couple of other comments here raising the idea that a majority Asian Harvard would be a bad thing.  Fear of an Asian Planet.  Our society  keeps raising the bar for how good Asian kids have to be to succeed and they just keep jumping right over it.  If kids are going to bust their butts and achieve they should get in somewhere good.  And if that means Harvard is majority Asian well, that’s interesting. Everyone takes the same tests.  Frankly there is an effort level differential across Asian/non-Asian kids on average (yes we all know exceptions give me a break) that is just hard not to notice. To which we say what, thanks for trying, you’re too Asian?  F that. [/quote]
