They had a way of weighting a person’s background as a part of their application. So imagine 2 students:
-4.0 through high school, AP classes, a bunch of extra curriculars, great test scores
-3.8 through high school, one AP class, no extra curriculars (because of family responsibilities), great test scores.
If the second student is a black student coming from a disadvantaged community, they legally can’t consider that in their admission process.

Good, should be based on rec letters, or parental income, or if they do not have access to that, zip code.
