A barrage of great questions. But unfortunately, I saw only one that I can even kinda-sorta answer:

Spelman is definitely considered an elite HBCU.

Also, there is at least one HBCU--and for those who don't know, "HBCU" stands for HISTORICALLY Black Colleges & Universities--that isn't majority African-American. With that being the case, it's a little difficult to imagine a true race quota system actively in place in HBCU's across the board.

But who knows? Like many college admissions policies, the full story and details seem shrouded in secrecy.

Would be nice if someone familiar with HBCU’s admissions could respond. In the same vein, does or did Brandeis U admissions favor Jews?
