But doesn't this mean that AAs were on average less interesting people, or whatever the personal score is trying to judge?
How can that be true?
It seems so much more likely to me that admissions officers understood that if AAs got similar personal scores to other groups then AAs would be overrepresented, and so the admissions officers (implicitly or explicitly) scored more them more harshly.

- hotpotamus 4y agoHow can it be true that AAs are less interesting people on average? Isn't the usual answer of why they are so successful on standardized tests that it comes down to their culture? Why shouldn't their charisma also be cultural?
- cuteboy19 4y agoPoint is moot because the alumni scores had no such discrepancy
