[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone knows TO is mainly to allow schools to admit black students without creating evidence of racial discrimination.[/b] It is not complicated and let's not beat about the bush because it's the truth. It has never been about the quirky artsy suburban white girl who doesn't test well. Given that the SATs were already substantially rescored and dumbed down for the same reasons, leading to significant inflation in SATs, it makes it easier for the schools to now consider TO because they also know the rigor levels of the high schools the kids are coming from. Someone with a 3.8 from Sidwell or a strong magnet is going to be looked at differently than a 4.0 from an everyday high school and can likely get away without submitting scores. But the 4.0 from the everyday high school needs the high SAT to stand out. [/quote]

You must have missed the large swath of UMC whites needing "accommodations," claiming  ADHD, etc.

In sheer numbers, whites benefit more from TO. Some top schools have been TO for decades. But, continue to be ignorant.[/quote]

Even if more white students (since black students tend to be no more than ten percent of the student population) are accepted TO (perhaps as athletes mostly), it can still be true that TO is a technology developed to evade legal scrutiny over racial preferences. [/quote]

… sorry, not developed (Bowdoin invented it as a hippy dippy thing) but applied broadly by almost every school under the guise of hippy dippy-ness but for the purpose of evading legal scrutiny [/quote]
