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
