This is happening in NYC right now. The high-achieving highschools are dominated by Asian-Americans. Admission is granted solely on the basis of a standardized test -- and enough of a stink has been made that the mayor is considering removing it in favor of a more holistic "diverse" approach.

- hn_throwaway_99 8y agoThomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in VA, one of the best high schools in the country has a class of 2019 that is 21.8% white, 74% Asian, 1.7% black, and 2.6% Hispanic. My guess is most highly selective universities would look similar if admissions were race blind there as well.
