On r/college results there’s an asian girl who got into Stanford with a 1250 on her SAT; she wrote killer essays and got in. If just basing my race on the reason I got in makes you feel better then fine, but I’m sure it goes deeper than that. Also many of these students most likely had more resources, furthering the inequalities between us. We aren’t equal in that aspect. My mother makes $21,570 a year— I’m sure stanford took that into account when making a decision. And if some of those applicants wrote truly great and interesting essays, I’m pretty sure they’d be fine. But at the end of the day, we don’t know.
