[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But AA students with scores lower than the white kids "reaching" for schools are admitted at rates >70% for a school like UVA. 55% of AA students at UVA with SAT's between 950-1050 got admitted, compared to 15% of white students. 75% are let in with scores between 1050-1150 vs. 20% for white students. As an aside, I'm shocked that anybody is getting into UVA with SAT's in the 900s. I wonder how many are athletes? [/quote] I don't think you understand the numbers.[/quote] +1. You need to ask yourself, "70% of what?" and "55% of what?". The denominator is the pool of applicants for the group in question. There is a smaller pool of AAs in the country. Because of various economic issues and family history of college attendance there is an even smaller pool of AA applicants to selective colleges. [/quote]+2. It's all about the numbers.[/quote]
