My apologies, need to correct the above. Way down for: Unhooked whites and Asians. Way up for: Blacks and athletes. |

Please note that Harvard, Yale & Princeton have rather robust need-based tuition reduction programs. The universities you have highlighted are public [except Catholic U] unlike the Ivy League (except for Cornell which has some public colleges): 1) UMass Boston a) costs about $160,000 over 4 years out-of-state b) in the great city of Boston c) has excellent admission practices 2) University of Central Florida a) which is about $140,000 over 4 years out-of-state b) in the great city of Orlando c) has excellent admission practices 3) UMCP a) which is over $200,000 over 4 years out-of-state b) in the great city of College Park c) has excellent admission practices [unless you are in-state applicant] 4) CUNY a) which is about $140,000 over 4 years out-of-state b) in the great city of New York c) has excellent admission practices 5) Pitt a) which is about $200,000 over 4 years out-of-state [before merit scholarship considerations] b) in the great city of Pittsburg c) has excellent admission practices 6) Catholic U a) which is about $280,000 over 4 years out-of-state [before merit scholarship considerations] b) in the great city of Washington c) has excellent admission practices Not exactly affordable options. |

There’s always the option of doing a gap year or two to establish residency in a specific place, doing ROTC or taking the AA -> BA route if you’re dead set on going to a certain kind of school. |

UMass Boston, UCF and others I’m sure are VERY generous with AP, IB & CLEP credit. Could graduate a year early. |

University data. Can do some research dimwit? |

| The subject line of this thread is unreal. Yale has amazing name recognition, massive amounts of money, and can pick and choose among the best of the best globally. |

Why don’t you link it so we can see it? I’d be curious to see admit data broken out along those lines. |

It’s called the Harvard lawsuit before scotus |

I see now why PP didn’t want to post the data. It contradicts the claim. Acceptance rates appear to be going down not up. From the article: At nine of the 12 universities that supplied acceptance rate data to JBHE, the Black student acceptance rate was higher than the acceptance rate for all students. In the past, the differences in acceptance rates at some universities were quite large. But now, the differences are usually very narrow. Again, this may reflect a concern over the threat of litigation if there is a perception that a particular racial or ethnic group is receiving an edge in the admissions process. |

This in fact I've heard it easier to get into Emory if your a white male, than any other demographics. However the discrepancy between acceptance rates between Black and White students at LACs is large. |

Not to mention anyone with a vague connection to Latin America. (DC's white friend with a white European grandma who spent her childhood in Argentina and checked the Latino box ) |
