[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]tough for white/asian kids getting bk with stats driven app. for URMs much easier [/b]and do not require same level of stats. before anyone jumps on me, keep in mind banneker/key used to two separate scholarship - one solely focused on black students and the other "purely" merit. [b]some white kid sued[/b] and won and UMD ended up combining two but still live by the spirits of original intent[/quote] It was an Hispanic kid who sued.[/quote] In response, I would say that URM status can definitely be a consideration for B/K, but having attended the BK luncheon for Finalisst just 3 years ago, the overwhelming majority of invited attendees were White or Asian. I also know many URM's in the Honors College, even those with high stats, who didn't get B/K. So please don't think that BK is a slam dunk for URM's.[/quote]
