<p>@twoinanddone My main question wasn’t entirely pertaining to the last sentence of the OP, but with that question I was basically wondering if the race-biased process occurs exclusively when it comes down to the “this student or that student” process of admissions or in the entire admissions process itself. By “below average” I was speaking relatively because, as we know, ORMs are considered under a higher standard, so “below average” could actually be “average” or even “above average” for the elite institution but is definitely “below average” or just “average” in the pool of ORM students.</p>
