<p>Could these extreme “tertiary evaluative concerns” be used by Harvard to discriminate between two “hooked” URMs? For example, to give a leg up to a poor URM student (1st generational) over the child of a more affluent college educated, hooked URM? Also, couldnt these tertiary evaluative concerns be used to discriminate between two non URM applicants? For example, if there were two white male applicants with identical standardized test scores, then couldnt Harvard use these concerns to prefer the child of a poor single mother who attended a poor inner city school over the white child of a more affluent family? Similarly, couldnt Harvard admit poor URMs attending poor schools over white kids from affluent families and rich schools with similar test scores, using these tertiary evaluative concerns? I think this is what happens and the result is a class with a certain number of URMs that creates diversity rather than the other way around -some quota for URMs at Haravard. Am I wrong?</p>
