just because the end numbers are similar, doesn’t mean they prefer students similarly. unless you have data about the applicant pool, as well, your numbers have little value to the statement you made.



I wasn’t basing my judgment of similarity solely on these statistics, and offered them separately, but thanks again for assuming I can’t make logical deductions like you can.



the fact that they say race/ethnicity is “considered” does nothing to show whether the different institutions weigh race differently.



I didn’t say that it was definitive, but it’s the only official word on it, and thus it’s an answer to the question.
