URM = black, Hispanic, Native American
ORM - white, Asian

Can someone provide an estimate of how much % it increases the chance of acceptance, being an URM (black teen male)?

Do certain tiers of school (or regions if the country) give URM more weight (ie boost) than others?

Week after week after week after week someone starts this up and inside of a day we end up here with the same bigoted tropes.

"black teen male"

We are talking about high school students - so "teen" is just part of the deal

Being black will increase your chance by 124.32% with 99.37% for Hispanics.

Will also increase your chance of being stopped and questioned on campus by 77.3%. And about 312% increased chance of being picked up off campus for "questioning." You can still do some homework while they're searching for warrants. Just build it into your schedule and you'll be fine!

Honestly, in the last few years DOUBLE hooks are the key. Black and legacy. Athletic recruit and legacy. Sometimes the legacies are also stacked to include both parents or grandparents. In DC, Celebrity/high profile person is often a legacy too (in DC this is usually a journalist, national news anchor, political TV persona, someone high up in the administration, Senator, Congressman, SCOTUS/Judge, etc.)

I know two kids of Northeastern alumns (same family, both parents are alumns) who were admitted to NU. It isn't clear that the higher stat kid was admitted because of legacy, but the lower stat kid clearly WAS a legacy admit.

It will also increase your chance by about 257% that your elementary teacher thinks you are not as smart as your peers, never offers you opportunities to get challenging work, to never be in the top reading group, and to be categorized as aggressive and impulsive when you shout out the correct answer and correct the teacher /peers instead of being classified as clever and having leadership abilities. Double these odds for Urm males.

Is being a military child a hook? Does the school make money for adding military kids?

Too conservative. The reality is you need to multiply those numbers by 10.

I think you meant “to believe all the research done on this topic ever.”

Sure. Your average candidate has a 5% chance at getting in Harvard. But if they are black then it is guaranteed?

Which is why every black student that applies to Harvard is accepted, given a brand new car, a condo, and an iPhone.
