The question asks for how race effects admissions, not the ethnic composition of those admitted.





but that doesn’t answer the question.



Thanks for letting me know–I couldn’t understand what the original post was asking for. :rolleyes:

As I suggested in my first post, it was an addition to what was asked, since I answered the original question in the last paragraph (as per the official policies that Stanford publishes–it is “considered”):



as the links above say, it’s “considered,”



As suggested by the stats themselves, they’re simply facts that support the more general conclusion that HYPS are all about the same in their ‘preferences’ toward URMs (I should have been clearer about the context of the other post where these stats came from–‘Stanford being perceived as more receptive to minority students than others’). There’s not much to read into them beyond that, in case you thought I was. ;)
