It remains to be seen how (or if) institutions will attract a racially diverse student body following the 2023 overturn of affirmative action, especially as the Trump administration targets DEI in higher education.

When I spoke to the head of Princeton's Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity about our drop in Black student admissions, she focused on how her office helps students "connect to networks of support, find a sense of belonging, and feel confident that they will be treated fairly on campus."

A major difference between our schools is that Harvard reinstated its standardized testing requirement with the class of 2029, while Princeton wont require test score submissions until the class of 2032 (feel old yet?).
