[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is going nowhere. Those stats are run of the mill at those schools, regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

However 1450 kids get accepted with certain skin color or rich parents over 1590 kid because....  courage, kindness, and likability?

1450 is still 99th percentile. There's essentially no difference in their test-taking ability from someone with 1590. If all else was equal and the 1450 was significantly more courageous, kind and likeable, I'm not sure why you wouldn't choose them regardless of skin color.[/quote]

I think the difference is big between 1450 and 1590.  1450 might be 99th percentile, but it's not good enough especially for those elite schools.
Now 1590 is what? like 99.99 percentile?  Now we are talking.
We all know that courage, kindness, and likability score is bullshit.

Seriously? You're going to quibble over the difference between the 99.0th percentile and the 99.9th percentile? I'm guessing you're in no more than the 98.7th percentile in intelligence if you believe that's a difference that matters.[/quote]

Isn't is significant difference between 1 out of 100 (99.0th percentile) vs 1 out of 1000 (99.9th percentile)?????????????????????????????????????????

No?????????????????????????[/quote]

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????[/quote]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

You still don't get it?
Looks like your math ability is 10th percentile.  
You probably thought the difference between 99 and 99.9 is small = 0.9

It means 1 out of 100 vs 1 out of 1000
That's a huge difference.
LMFAO[/quote]

Yes and your English is 1 percentile lmfao 😂 [/quote]

You at least understood my English, but still not the math  :lol:
