Double-digit increases of Asian students at top tier universities, primarily coming from decreases of nonwhite students.
Probably a modest reverse version of that at the lower tier universities.
Love the policy change or hate it, that’s what’s likely to happen.
- legutierr 3y ago> primarily coming from decreases of nonwhite students Given the actual numbers, its more likely that the largest number of applicants negatively affected by this will be white, in absolute terms.
- mchannon 3y agoTo the contrary, Stanford, for instance, has ~22% of its student body "White or Caucasian", when it used to be 40% in 2016. This swing didn't occur simply because white students stopped applying. https://stanfordreview.org/stanfords-racial-engineering/ https://stanfordreview.org/stanfords-racial-engineering/ Stanford might be an outlier, but I don't see white applicants being negatively affected by this decision. Quite the opposite.
- local_crmdgeon 3y ago>primarily coming from decreases of nonwhite students. Asians aren’t White.

I will gladly bet the under on double digits for Ivies, MIT, and Stanford. 5% max, possibly as little as 2% — that is, 26% might increase to 31%, but more likely 28%-29%. Whatever the number is, the increase for whites will probably be greater in both percentage and absolute number. That said, I agree that the demographics that will lose these spots are non-white, non-Asian groups.
