Does your race play a role in admissions?

<p>Okay so I know all UC's passed some kind of rule about how diversity does not play a role in their admission process, but for all we know, they could've just passed it so everyone would get off their asses about how someone that's hispanic got in with a 1400 SAT and 3.1 gpa and an asian got rejected with a 4.0 gpa and 2100 SAT.</p>

<p>Anyways I'm just wondering if race plays a role in UC admissions (any UC)?
I applied to a few UC's this year so I was just curious. </p>

<p>As far as I know (and my knowledge from reading other threads) there is no disadvantage to being a specific race but there is an advantage to being an URM.</p>

<p>And to be honest, a 2100 SAT isn’t all that high for the top-tier UC’s (it’s not a bad score, but it’s not a score that practically seals the deal).</p>

<p>For now, state law prohibits CA public colleges from considering race in any way. </p>

<p>Race plays no role, since if you look at UCSD’s demographic, you’ll clearly see a skew in terms of race.</p>
