[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ post their profile/stats and i can tell you why. that's no rocket science. [/quote]

I just gave you their profile:  The 42 white students ALL had lower scores than Abby Fisher.  You have no problem opining about why non-white students are admitted with lower scores (without knowing anything else about their "profile"  :roll: ).  So please tell me why these white students were admitted with lower scores than Abby.  Why shouldn't she sue over that?  I mean, they did take "her" seat after all.[/quote]

I don't consider your blanket statement their profile. Maybe they were in top 10% of their class even with lower scores. Give me applicant by applicant profile of gender, GPA, test scores, any hooks, % of class, ECs. Now, go get it. You can do it.  :roll: [/quote]

The top 10% were already admitted (that's based on grades, not SAT/ACT scores).  Abby and the 42 white students with lower scores who were admitted did NOT graduate in the 10% of their class.  They were considered in a different pool.

Just as I suspected...you have nothing but excuses for this pathetic lawsuit.  You cannot defend the indefensible.  You and Abby are both mediocre.[/quote]

NP.  Without more information on those 42, who knows why they were admitted.  For example, my DS attends a top SLAC and his roommate went to a magnet high school in TX ranked in the top 30 in the country.  He did not graduate in the top 10% due to the caliber of student that attends the high school but nevertheless has almost a full merit scholarship to the SLAC based on his high school record.[/quote]

It's interesting that you now need "more information" to explain why these 42 lower-scoring white students were admitted, while LEGACY and TEXAS RESIDENT Abby Fisher was rejected from UT-Austin.  Do you also need "more information" about the 5 non-white students who were admitted, or do you already "know" the answer is AA?  Abby Fisher assumed the answer was AA and not her mediocre grades and test scores.  She was wrong.  Don't be like Abby Fisher.  [/quote]
