"While this is a substantial change in the demographic composition of the Class of 2028 compared with recent years, I want to be clear that it does not bring any aggregate change in the quantifiable characteristics we use to predict academic success at MIT, such as performance in high school or scores on standardized tests. By these measures, this cohort is no more or less prepared to excel in our curriculum than other recent classes that were more broadly diverse."
I doubt this and would like to see the numbers. To simplify a bit, racial preferences existed because relatively few blacks and Hispanics had the test scores needed to get into MIT. If MIT has stopped using racial preferences, the average test scores of admitted students should have risen a little.
