After exfiltrating data, I set up a local database with the relevant tables imported from, and queried it to get various statistics on affirmative action at UMN.
Joining the PS_DIVERSITY and PS_DWAD_APPL_HS tables I was able to query the average ACT scores of admitted applicants of each racial category, with admissions excluded pre-2010 to keep it contemporary. A graph of results is included here.
The results are of course largely expected, showing for example a White/Asian applicant must have a significantly higher ACT to be admitted than a black applicant.
Interestingly a White/Asian applicant only gets some benefit from not specifying their race, likely because only White/Asian applicants don't.
