[quote=Anonymous]"because there is roughly fixed # of slots for top schools - as urm admit rates increase, conversely there are less spots for unhooked non-urms."

This is just not true.

It is NOT the URM admit rate that has anything to do with the number of unhooked spots.  It is the actual number of URM admitted that matters.

The URM admit rate is completely controlled by the number of UNQUALIFIED URM students that apply.  The number/quality of URM that are going to get in is similar from year to year.

The reason the unhooked admit rate is so low is because LOTS of DCUM Tiger parents force their kids to apply and get rejected.  Again admit rate is controlled by the UNQUALIFIED part of the ratio.

The point of this entire thread is to get the DCUM Tiger parents more information to cut down on the number of unqualified applicants and improve admissions rates.

This is why a real admissions dean might not like this thread if they only care about how selective their school looks.
