This note makes no sense. School source would equalize SAT differences.

I doubt HBS would allow a 100 pt difference in SAT score for minority students vs. others.

Instead, you can argue, despite normalizing for SAT score and for School choice, you still show inequality via income a few years later.

Common HN opinion is that if only minorities would reach the same schools (Stanford, Harvard), they would not experience discrimination. However, as the OP shows, even adjusting for School, you end up with unexplained income variances between racial groups.

Actually, 100 points is an underestimate. At elite schools, there is a significant difference between the average SAT scores of admitted white students and admitted black students --- usually several hundred points. The average SAT scores of Asian students are about 30-50 points higher than those of admitted white students.

These are facts and easily verifiable.

If it's easily verifiable, do you have a source?

(It might also help if the article was even talking about undergrad and/or SAT scores.)

I agree with rmtx - show your Data & sources. The recent Supreme Court case on Affirmative Action (Fisher II) doesn't even present any SAT criteria reference in respect to affirmative action. More info below
