Okay, folks. here’s what MITChris actually wrote:
“As for the “preferential admission of certain racial/ethnic groups”: it is not as simple as that in our process. We do not simply admit a person because they are qualified and black, or hispanic, or so forth. It is a question, as David has posted, as what have you made of your resources. A student who has a certain racial or ethnic group and has made no more use of their resources than a student of another racial or ethnic group is not more likely to be admitted.”
You just have to watch you process certain notions. Especially when you think you want to aim high, where this processing is a critical asset.
