[b]When adjusted for test scores, an AA kid is more than 5 times more likely to be selected than a white or Asian kid with the same stats.[/b]

Now that is a disturbing stat.[/quote]

If you want the full context, it's the first paragraph on page 27[/quote]
The full context is that the system has been heavily  rigged in favor of URM and they still end up being underrepresented. Do we need to rig the system further or should we do something different? Since when does Equality mean equal outcome in this country? [/quote]

Thanks for the info. I understand trying to level the playing field, but lowering the standard based on race isn't going to solve any problems. These opportunities are finite, and you are denying an opportunity to a more qualified student because of their race. 5x more likely is just insane. It's like they never learn. I would love for these kids to get more help early on that would make them more competitive.[/quote]
