Thoughts on this? The average rejected applicant to Columbia had higher SAT scores than the average accepted Black and Hispanic students, and higher ACT scores than admitted White, Black, and Hispanic students. You can debate whether or not you think Cremieux is trustworthy, but the data behind it is legit, and comes from the same source that leaked NYU's admissions data. 

 Obviously, test scores aren't everything, but the data from the SFFA v. Harvard case showed that Asians had the best extracurriculars and interviews as well, and I see no reason why that also wouldn't apply at Columbia. In addition, the real difference between groups is likely even larger, because 65% of Asians submitted standardized test scores, whereas only 51% of Whites, 43% of Hispanics, and 24% of Blacks did: the test scores for those groups were probably inflated by the fact that only the top scorers among them submitted scores, while the vast majority of Asians did.

We saw a similar trend with the leaked NYU data. Are colleges now simply breaking the law? If not even a Supreme Court decision can stop them from setting higher standards for Asian applicants, what recourse is there? It seems especially bad now, because the general impression is that affirmative action is banned and colleges are abiding by the law: attention on this issue has dissipated among non-Asians. 

Leaked Columbia post-affirmative action ban admissions data shows rejected Asian applicants had higher average test scores than *admitted* Hispanics and Blacks, and even Whites (for the ACT)
