In 2014, a group called Students for Fair Admissions sued Harvard, claiming that the university was using an illegal quota system to cap Asian-American enrollment.
The lawsuit forced Harvard to open its highly secretive admissions faults.
And the data they came out was absolutely mind-blowing.
The data showed that Asian-Americans scored higher than any other racial groups on the academic and extracurricular metrics.
Yet, their actual admission rates were suspiciously low.
Why? Because of the personal rating.
Asian applicants were often described in stereotype terms like they are academically strong but bland or lacking in leadership or charisma.
Okay.
So, who was taking the place of rejected Asian-American students?
Although minority students, black and Hispanic students were often admitted with significantly lower average SAT scores, but with much higher personality ratings.
Therein lies a problem because how do you even measure someone's personality or leadership potential objectively, especially across different racial groups?
That's why in 2023, the US Supreme Court ruled that Harvard's raceconscious admission system violated the US Constitution and the court forced Harvard and other elite schools to scrap their all policies and rebuild their admission systems without explicitly using race.
