The Supreme Court struck down the admission policies of many colleges, ruling Affirmative Action to be illegal under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, but how much of this is just pretext? Although race is no longer a valid reason for getting accepted to a university, aspiring students can still game the system by including challenges they face due to their minority status in their essays.

Host Jack Russo and Professor Robert Acker discuss how universities could handle this subtle tweak to admission policies when weeding through thousands of college applications.
