[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops, I was going off of what you said. If we go over the corrected data it's even more uniform: Black - 3,731 applied - 241 accepted - 6.4% accepted Hispanic - 4,663 applied - 265 accepted - 5.7% accepted Asian - 7,871 applied - 418 accepted - 5.3% accepted Overall - 37,305 applied - 1,990 accepted - 5.3% accepted You are obsessing over between a .4% and a 1.1% difference in acceptance rates. [/quote] Actually, these stats seem to support complaints Asian-Americans. 1.1% out of 5.3% is 20%. Can someone seriously claim that, from the overall pool of applicants, AAs are at least 20% better qualified than Asians? If anything, it is probably the opposite. [/quote] The sample size is tiny and the percentages are small. You expect some variation. It's not a big difference. [/quote]
