Not this PP, but there are definitely preferences given to underrepresented minorities. See this all the time. We just went through the college app/admin process last year and I was amazed at the kids with non-white backgrounds getting into Penn, W&M, UVa, that had they been white, no chance.[/quote]
You know the scores of the "non-white" kids? They don't even make up a large % of the population of the school, but some how they keep your little Johnny or Jane out of these schools.

Uva Undergraduate Students by Ethnic Category, 2012-13
6.5 percent	African American
0.2 percent	American Indian or Alaskan Native
12.1 percent	Asian
5.5 percent	Hispanic
0.1 percent	Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander
4.0 percent	Multi-Race
28.3 percent	Minority Sub-Total

So the non minority take up 71% of the admissions. Your kid is not getting in b/c they are letting unqualified minorities in, but b/c he/she did not make the cut. [b]As long as we are stereotyping, what do you think the scores of the Asian students were?[/b]
