<p>Oh I doubt many of them were URMs either. I’d bet there were a few Hispanics, probably no Blacks seeing as not even 1500 Blacks score that high on the SATs. That I agree with, which is to be expected. URMs with scores that high are easily in the running for admissions at tippy-top schools so they likely wouldn’t be that concerned with Florida. </p>
<p>I’m just saying that some of those kids with high SAT scores who were rejected didn’t get high grades-look at your thread for real life proof. Obviously some of the applicants were OOS, you can’t disagree there. And probably a few of those applicants had personal attributes that would make them undesirable on any competitive universities college campus such as cheating, trouble, bad essays, bad recs, not doing anything else in school, etc. So that 1500+ really isn’t that large in the grand scope of things. I would be surprised if it were less!</p>
<p>You have to ask yourself this, how many of the kids admitted with below 2100s were white and asian. I’d argue most of the kids below 2100were white and asian. So these kids with stellar SATs got defeated in spite of it, not because of it.</p>
