Re: URM 2013-2014 Cycle Thread
I'm thinking....I was going to wait until I got my score back before I sent out any t14 apps but I wonder if it makes sense to begin sending those out now and just have them wait until I get my scores back...thoughts?
And congrats again everyone!!!

I've been somewhat behind in my media consumption, but have we seen this? http://www.mercurynews.com/california/c ... -test-data
We can't argue about affirmative action because that breaks the forum rules and stuff. Just thought that you guys would find it interesting, especially given the much earlier conversations about Sander/UCLA.
Personally, as long as every reasonable (and unreasonable) measure is taken to protect individual privacy, I approve of the release. Government records should be public records, in part for research projects like these. More information is always better, especially when there's policy and individual opportunity at stake. He's going in with such a clear bias I'll be somewhat critical of his findings, but once the information is out there anyone can analyze it. Which I think is positive.

Wow, this is certainly interesting. This whole issue seems to be building up to something huge. I have to admit, this is enough to dissuade me from attending UCLA. The climate of all of this seems ridiculously distracting for UCLA URM law students.midnight_circus wrote:I've been somewhat behind in my media consumption, but have we seen this? http://www.mercurynews.com/california/c ... -test-data

I kind of agree with you that it can be helpful for policy reasons etc.....I just read Sanders article, and personally, I think Sanders is off base here. It's well known that having a more diverse institution whether it's a company or a university is much more conducive to the overall health of a corporation or educational experience for everyone. Most schools have almost 70% filled with white students, what more do white folks want?? Is it so bad to give URM's from non affluent backgrounds a chance at elite universities?? The notion that a black student with lower test scores is taking the place of a white or asian applicant is not true at all......This whole argument is so dumb...

First - congrats to all the admits!
I'm a lurker but I thought this question was interesting. What would the spreadsheet show? Numbers and schools all in one place? It would be VERY intersting/revealing to see how the urm cycle plays out...Black_Swan wrote:So do we have a spreadsheet yet?

Some of the Harvard analytics are urm-excluded because we might skew the stats. URM data is going into/influencing certain calculations, but not all. The rest are inclusive. We could certainly have our own, but I fail pretty hard at xcel analytics so I wouldn't be the one building it.
Edited: Corrected an error in my discussion of the spreadsheets.
