Counter-evidence: affirmative action.

In any case, it's interesting that Obama's SAT (or ACT) scores are sealed as are his college grades, AFAIK.

HLS students of any skin color have high IQs as measured by standardized tests. The school's 25th percentile LSAT score is 170, which is 97.5th percentile for the subset of college graduates who take the LSAT. 44% of HLS students are people of color.

Black students constitute 10-12% of HLS students. Most of the "people of color" are Asians.
