The question applies to the whole university, not just the College. Decisions made before the start of the 23-24 academic year don't count. Admissions into any program between then and the end of 2028 are included.
I'm interested if whether we'll find out that Harvard has exploited the loophole SCOTUS handed them, namely whether they'll use e.g. essays as a proxy for race determine admissions.

@MaggieDelano If Harvard aims to fill quotas/strike a certain balance/distribution by e.g. using essays as proxies for race, that counts.
@NicoDelon quotas have been unconstitutional since well before the recent cases. I could see them using essays as a way to assess how race has impacted an applicant (which is allowed).
@MaggieDelano Call them what you want. They aim for a certain distribution of students. I know quotas are disallowed but that doesnât mean Harvard doesnât engage in something close enough.
"They also argued that Harvard engages in âracial balancing,â a practice that they say occurs when a school seeks some specific percentage of a particular race. They alleged that Harvard doesnât treat race as merely a plus and that âHarvard is obsessed with race,â since it âmatters more than every other diversity factorâ in an application. According to the petitioner, race has been a âdeterminativeâ element for at least 45 percent of admitted Black and Hispanic students, or nearly 1,000 students during a four-year period."
Maybe this is false, maybe this is fine, maybe we will never know, I have no opinion, but this is alleged and to me âracial balancingâ is close enough to quotas, notwithstanding the Bakke decision.
Bet accordingly.

@NicoDelon Ok, thanks.
Let me rephrase my initial question: under what circumstances would this resolve NO?
