<p>@ksarmand, yeah I was rushing when writing that, and perhaps it is true that many people tend to use absolutes subconciously, considering it is easier to say that african americans will always get into a university with a lower SAT score than saying 85% of the time african americans will get into universities with a lower score, (intirely made-up statistic in case you were wondering). But in my defense, guarantee isn’t always an absolute, it can also be used as an expression of conviction. So what I am saying is that I strongly believe that if I had an SAT score 300 lower than my current one, an was african american, I would be admitted. I strongly believe it, doesnt mean its true though, cause really, what do I know?</p>
