We can’t seriously take 32 data points from College Confidential and try to make any real judgmenets on the effects of URM can we? Especially when the acceptance rates are so low to begin with. When around 10-15% of people with 34+ test scores are accepted and 5% or so with 30-33 test scores are accepted, trying to make any real judgments with 32 data points seems a bit ridiculous.
And even if the scores are not that different between non URM’s and URM’s that still wouldn’t mean that there isn’t a huge advantage to URM’s. If the school only accepts 10% of 34+ ACT’s, but they raise that to 30% for URM’s by giving them additional points in other areas, then there still is a pretty large URM advantage.
