<p>In the applicant pool, UVA probably is not seeing large numbers of Hispanics from California, Arizona, etc. applying, so they aren’t pertinent to the numbers UVA would be looking for in terms of a Hispanic quota. That’s why the in-state representation is much more accurate than the national 15% of whatever it is now. Similarily, the number of blacks in Virginia exceed the national average of 12% or so. UVA has something close to the national average, but since the majority of its attendants are from instate its more fair to assess the representation of blacks in terms of VA.</p>
