I expect data is similar among most schools of this stature

Remarkable how much impact Affirmative action had on student body distributions

I feel like lsu will see opposite effect

All the Nola and north BR “scholars” who got into Ivy and Ivy adjacent schools with unremarkable academic records due to AA will now go to LSU

How mad are the "anti-racists" now that they're not allowed to be racist anymore?

Those are the ones you want going to LSU, not the ones with a 2.2 GPA and no ACT scores.

"No one can say why"...

Next.. give waitlist standing to international students. I keep hearing how we have a doctor shortage and training the world's doctors instead of our own isn't going to help.

Good. The 3% truly earned it. Now there's no room to doubt their competence.

That’s very common. If they didn’t do this the racial demographics in crime states would look even worse than they already do.

It was hyperbole. LSU admits some very weak students who don't last more than a semester.

The kid from North BR who is accepted to Johns Hopkins probably still has a 3.5 GPA and decent test scores. Is he qualified for Johns Hopkins or Tulane? No, but he's a solid enough student for LSU.

As long as those Asians are American and stay here, I could care less.

If their test scores got them in based on meritocracy, I have no opposition.
