<p>Tom you’re getting mostly personal attacks because A)we’re not debating the merits of AA even though you think we are, B) you can’t rigorously prove anything.</p>
<p>Your link underscores my point not yours. 12.5% of those with over a 2100 got rejected as well as 15% with over a 4.0 weighted. That seems very stats based to me. Remember that some kids with 2100+'s did not get good grades and those that got good grades could have gotten poor SAT’s. Remember that many of those rejected were OOS who applied too late. When you take that into consideration it seems that it would take something exceptional (in a bad way) for an academically qualified in state student to get rejected.</p>
<p>noreally look at the link tom provided. Your friend was really, really unlucky if shes IS. 12.5% of people get rejected with over a 2100 and only 15% get rejected with over a 4.0 weighted. To be in the intersection of that group as an in stater is bad news bears (barring bad recs of course) The African American girl had at least a 35% chance of getting in as per the charts, which is pretty good. Furthermore, most UF students who get admitted have SAT scores in her range as per the charts.</p>
