[quote=Anonymous]The way the study was done, if you compared recruited athletes or legacies, or people from geographically or economically diverse areas, you would the same results and come up with the same conclusions.  The facts are the number of URMs, athletes, musicians, etc at UVa and other similar schools are low and do not impact the admissions of others. My cousins from western Va feel that have a chance at UVa and W&M, even though there kids do not go to as a competitive HS or have as high test scores as found in NOVA. You will often hear admissions directors from top schools say that they could fill their classes with kids from top secondary schools in one region or same ilk. But their institutions strongly feel that the best learning environments is one that incorporates the best of those with disparte backgrounds. So those who are first generation college (many from my family) or URM, or military veterans may not have the tip-top scores or backgrounds, but they are strong enough to eat admitted and do well.
