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.
