Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as the French say but what ruins that for me in regards to her is her comment last year or so :" I know I am fine".

In the past did they hand out scholarships using holistic measures including not requiring ACTs to help account for grade inflation and differing standards between schools/ISDs, actively seek ways to increase Pell grant %s, or do all the above for out of state students? Holistic hasn’t just been used for admissions but also for handing out scholarships and admissions to the honors college.

Maybe other changes are the cause:
In fall of 2020 whites were 64.8% of the incoming freshmen class enrollees with blacks at 16.8% (4,335 & 1,122 of the 6,690 total of the incoming freshmen class), and In fall of 2020 white undergraduates were at 67.1% of the total undergraduates on campus with blacks at 14.7%. (16,837 & 3,682 of 25,088 total undergraduates on campus).

By Tate’s last 100% controlled freshman class in fall of 2025 whites had dropped to 48.6% of the incoming freshmen class enrollees with blacks at 28.4% (3,995 & 2,331 of the 8,212 total of the incoming freshmen class), and this fall of 2026 white undergraduates have dropped to 52.8% of the total undergraduates on campus with blacks at 24.2%. (15,663 & 7,178 of 29,648 total undergraduates on campus).

All this happening while the submission rate for ACT/SATs dropped to 47% for the 2024 fall freshmen class (last common report posted but haven’t checked in awhile).

But if you honestly want to know cause of those changes then you go back to Tate’s exponential increases in the number of enrollees each fall using holistic approach with voluntary ACTs for admissions, scholarships, and honors college.

This is true for one group of people.

Not so much for the other groups.
