<p>So if you do the math, obviously there are some kids getting in with these kinds of test scores. Now don't go "all p.c." on me here. But my question is...are the lower ACT's all kids that are diverse, or disadvantaged in some way? You can see where I'm going with this. Can a white middle class kid get in with a 28/29 or not? Obviously it would take stellar grades, and activities, and essay, and something unique. But what i'm hearing is that even with all that...there's no chance...because you really need a 33+ if you're not diverse, or disadvantaged. </p>

<p>What's the truth? And please don't post if you're just going to get on me for playing the race card. Sorry, been through that before, and I know all the proper things to say. </p>
