Perfect ACT/SAT? 12 points

Being African American? 20 points

Wow. It was thought to be bad, but this is ridiculous.

Treated like the 5 star running back that couldn’t get in without the index.

A white applicant with perfect test scores, an excellent essay, national level leadership and achievement would score less than a minority applicant from a rural county.

How is there not a lawsuit? Then seems like an open and shut discrimination case

this is systemic racism.

I know ive said in the past it didnt exist anymore, but it clearly does.

Systemic racism doesn’t look like they say it does when it’s printed out in black and white.

Supreme Court heard it at the end of last year. Should know something in next couple weeks. That’s why this was leaked.

The Supremes heard UNC and Harvard.

All they’ve accomplished is the complete devaluation of a college education.

Pretty blatantly unconstitutional. They'll get hammered by SCOTUS

Yep. Last June was fun with the SCOTUS threads. Hope we get some good ones this year.

I’m looking forward to this one.

Some takeaways.

GPA is extremely important. Way more important than test scores.

Essays are worthless

Interesting to see male in nursing worth 5 points.

Provosts Discretion= donations

It’s so damned condescending to suggest African Americans need affirmative action-type admission standards in order to succeed.

Blows my mind that more AAs don’t unequivocally decry this Civil Rights era, antiquated policy.

I suspected they prioritized counties as part of the application. Good to see it in print.

An outstanding essay being the same value as another relative having graduated is wild.

That was a typo rather than a shot at their grammar/spelling prowess.
