This seems to have been misinterpreted.

Someone asked if there was an increase in Hispanic applicants, which I took to mean, “Are there more Hispanic applicants to NU this year, because if there are, won’t that decrease my chances of being admitted because NU only admits a certain amount of Hispanic individuals each year?”

That - having race quotas, only admitting a predetermined number of minorities, even when many qualified ones apply - was what I interpreted as being unfair to minorities.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I should have been a lot more clear.
