<p>Many people were saying that the reason why the white acceptance rate is much higher is because of early decision and that most of these applicants are white+wealthy+legacy.
W&L only accepts around 225 applicants ed, and and many of these ed acceptances are recruited athlethes which would explain the higher ed rate.
regardless, in total they accepted 937 out of 2117 white applicants, and since ED is only 200 students, the higher ED acceptance rate could not possibly be responsible for the 4x higher acceptance rate of whites</p>
