[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is playing the social engineering game with the state kids and it is tiring and frustrating. A state school should represent the make-up of the state and any school that has the outright goal of 40% URM/1st Gen is not representing the population of the state that it is supposed to serve. Also, why accept lower stat OOS kids over high stat in-state?? That makes no sense at all to me.  The majority of state schools do the opposite. 
The theory of high stat kids using it as a safety shouldn't matter; look at Pitt - they accept high stat kids and are fully aware that many of them consider it a safety but a lot of those kids end up attending, loving the school and increasing the caliber of the school.  [/quote]

VA is 60% white. So 40% URM tracks.

VA is 6% Asian. So are you mad VaTeach is not aiming for 34% URM???[/quote]

Wrong.  Almost 70% white and 7% Asian.  20% Black. Negligible hispanics.  What were you saying again?

Virginia Demographics

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Virginia was:

White: 66.32%
    Black or African American: 19.05%
    Asian: 6.7%
    Two or more races: 4.77%
    Other race: 2.83%
    Native American: 0.27%
    Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.07%[/quote]

Not PP you're responding to, but negligible Hispanics does not seem right. [/quote]

Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. Someone posted the race data. You would need to find the ethnicity data separately, which would be Hispanic/Non-Hispanic. You can be white and Hispanic, Black and Hispanic, etc.[/quote]

In the CDS stats posted above everything that's not "Hispanic" is actually listed as "non-Hispanic" in the data set. So basically, if you say you are Hispanic, regardless of other race info, you are put in the Hispanic bucket. Everything else is those who did not check Hispanic.[/quote]
