Do Certain Groups Face a Higher Bar in US College Admissions?
If you are concerned about stereotypes and bias in the college admissions process, you won’t want to miss Signet’s free panel discussion on February 16th, 2023, from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST.
The discussion will explore the topic of race-conscious college admissions—including whether or not first generation immigrants and Asians face a higher bar in college admissions.
