How do top schools claim there are no race or ethnicity quotas?

<p>When, at the same time, each class consistently admits the same percentage of members of each race? </p>

<p>Sorry if I’m not allowed to talk about this here</p>

<p>They can correctly claim that there is no official quota— but certainly goals for various sub-groups (whether they be ethnicities, gender balance, geographic, international, athletes, faculty kids, celebrities, science geniuses, music prodigies, etc. – take your pick) are no mystery.</p>

<p>Which schools are you talking about? I don’t believe that HYP, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, or Chicago release the number of admitted minorities. They just say how many enrolled.</p>

<p>Do they understand that some people try to game the system? (ex. marking AA when they’re only 1/4 AA and don’t identify with the race. Obviously AA is a HUGE boost)</p>

<p>@reeinaz: sorry, that’s what I meant. Minorities enrolled.</p>
