0. States schools aren’t allowed to use race in the admissions process.



I concur because I agree that 0 is the right answer but I disagree with your reason.

Unless one of two things has happened, state schools are allowed to use race in the admissions process. The exceptions are successful passage of a civil rights initiative or state decree. For example, California, Washington, and Michigan are all not allowed to use race in the admissions processes of their public universities because of Proposition 209, Initiative 200, and Proposal 2, respectively. Florida is not allowed to use race in the admissions process because of Governor Jeb Bush.

Georgia is a bit strange. In other words, I don’t fully understand our state’s position on this issue. The CDS of Georgia Tech and UGA both say that they do not consider race at all. However, we’ve never been lumped together with the states mentioned above as “states that don’t practice.”

Nevertheless, because of what the CDS says, 0 is my answer. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t get scholarships that are Hispanic-only…
