The focus should be on smart FGLI students who don’t get all the privileges and benefits of wealthy private school students who use race as a hook.

Yep. Anyone in top private schools saw this in action. White and Asian kids killing themselves to be top5% in the class for an outside chance at Princeton. Just as wealthy and privileged (often more so) black kids skating in with grades in the lower half of the class. In this anonymous setting I can say that it's refreshing that this loophole has closed.

Primarily Asian Institutions (PAI) are most of the top 30 especially when you include international students who are over 90% Asian. The schools don't want this information to get out as they will become less popular.

I don’t know. URM kids at our school still got ivies this year, maybe not Princeton. I am not sure they are affected by the policy.

URM kids at private schools continue to excel. Many black kids at private schools come from well off families, doctors, lawyers, Wall Street. They usually do well academically because their parents are smart. I am not surprised that Brown or Penn love these black private school kids.

We'll see what the Brown and Penn numbers actually look like. My guess is your wild swing of self congratulatory speculation is off and they're also down substantially.

Penn class of 2029 - 24%
are from races and ethnicities historically underrepresented in higher education

What are you quoting that from? Does that count international? Multiracial? What the black/Hispanic/native/Pacific islander/other breakdown? In short, it's not apples to apples with the Princeton numbers and wouldn't be incompatible with an American black student percentage around 5 like Princeton.

Can't compute averages and trends. I bet you struggle with "per capita" too. How would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast? At least you're smashing the stereotype that Asians are smart...

lol. Honey, you are wondering why there are Asian maga?

It is 23% of the Class of 2028 compared to 25% of the Class of 2027. So around the same but no breakdown of race.

Merit based now. It's not a bad thing.

I’m the poster above (Asian parent in the South). I see the trends. My math skills are fine. There are smart people of all races everywhere. My point is, the “white flight” to SEC’s may be driven in part by kids seeking a more fun or social college experience. But that “flight” to the SEC schools isn’t race-specific. There are also (very smart top stats ) Asian-American kids who are opting for SEC schools for the same reasons.

Yes. That is an issue. A very high percentage of black students at Princeton and Harvard are African or from the Caribbean. The troubles with visas for international students will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the number of black students at these schools, especially now that you can't use race as a hook. A lot of talent came from abroad.

We shouldn’t be importing diversity-that’s a waste of money and time. If black Americans want to succeed, they’ll do it on their own accord

Whoa! Black American parents want their kids to succeed just as much as any other race or ethnicity. It's also true that even rich Black Americans face specific challenges that others do not. There are a lot of problems with the way college admissions work, including how it handles diversity, but it's hard to take seriously a person who can make a comment like this.

Except they will change the entrance requirements to not let those with the highest scores, Asians and Jews, to get in.

Except it isn’t the damn 60s. These campuses are overrun by Jews and Asians.

It isn't the 90s either. The percentage of Jews has been falling at elite campuses.

Near 20% Jewish campuses for an ethnic group comprising 2% of the population…right…

Down to as low as 10 percent at Harvard two years ago per the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/16/us/jews-harvard-antisemitism-israel-war.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Sometimes I wonder if parents maybe should cut the video games and promote education more instead of getting mad at the increase in Asians.
