It's not just Black students over Asians, it is the entire gradient I outlined, and they continue to use race in admissions, they just obfuscate the reasons now.

Again, the statement you made earlier seems almost surely false.

And how do you know they continue to use race? You have access to data that the rest of us don't? Again, if you have data to support your claims then post a link.

Compare the numbers for MIT who is somewhat complying vs the Ivy leagues who are mostly not complying.

I agree my original claim is likely not true. I should have said >95% of Asian's SAT scores are higher than the median Black SAT score.

How do you know MIT isn’t now discriminating against Black students? How do you know what MIT metrics? Maybe it only cares about test scores and not other aspects? Also MIT is a D3 school, or a D1 school.

You don’t seriously think that is a possibility.
