People need to realize that black students with good scores can and do get rejected/deferred…it happened to my son’s GF yesterday. I’m not going to share much about her because it’s not my place since she’s not my kid…but I will say that she’s from a very privileged background and had a very competitive app. I suspect, based on her stats, that she was evaluated with the expectation that she should perform on the level of white applicants with similar backgrounds. So there’s “in your face” proof that wealthy blacks are not being ushered down a red carpet into top schools. I wish I could share more of her stats/background…I think you would all be shocked at the deferral.
