If we are going to get SAT scores by race and sex, we should also get SAT scores for legacy, athletes, faculty, donors, and other Z list applicants. Fair's fair. The sort of transparency you are looking for can only be obtained through litigation discovery. They will never voluntarily divulge that information and you know why.
Some fair points, but absolutely laughable to suggest Harvard needs/should release micro-detail at the high school level, which in many cases could expose data (including test scores) of actual students, for many high schools where only one or two students may have applied. That's like saying voting results should be done at the household level. It's also insane from a PR standpoint, because releasing that much micro detail, bad actors who want to get content clicks (cough, cough), could easily find some random data points to attack Harvard ("look, they admitted 2 of 3 males at this school with an average 1490, but rejected all 3 females at this school with a 1550, so clearly Harvard hates women!"), when there could be intangibles not in the relelased data. Just absurd to think any school would release the level of detail suggested, which takes away from the broader argument to get more high and mid-level data.
I've read that the HS Class of 2025 marks the beginning edge of the demographic cliff where by there are now less 18 year old in American than the previous year. This demographic cliff has already impacted high schools across the country whereby schools in the midwest are seeing up to 15% declines in class sizes. This trend has to be impacting college admissions, however they have not publicly discussed it. Will we see the Flagships in the Midwest admitting more OOS Students? Will colleges generally focus their marketing towards the coastal population centers? We should heed the warning from Elon Musk, if Americans do no have more children our economy will face significant challenges in the years ahead. Colleges are at the tip of that spear.
We can also increase immigration. Pass a comprehensive immigration bill allowing more people to bolster the economy and protect the border. We know immigrants appreciate the American dream more than naturally born citizens.
@@carlscott506 The venture capital special interest have secured a commitment from President Elect Trump. International students who graduate from a college, including community college (trade school?), will be given residency and work authorization along with a fast track route to citizenship. Lets see if he fulfills this campaign promise. Simply opening the border and allow whomever to enter is the most foolish thing I have ever seen. If they are able to obtain a degree in America than it is safe to say they have assimilated to some degree and have some marketable skills unlike the current lot who have become a drag on the social safety net meant for Americans.
Define a 100% pure way to objectively always fine the "best qualified" candidate though. Candidate A from Andover Prep with a 1600 or Candidate B from Mediocre School with a 1590 who likely didn't have test prep resources and had a side job to help support their family?

this is a stronger macro-level argument not made in the video, which would be more informative than the micro-level suggestions in the video.

A lot of this is in the Common Data Set bro
Still trying to justify making everything subjective to justify getting the "right" mix. Just cannot go with the best qualified.
