Your opinion is good as mine, demo, but if you go back to the 70’s, you’ll find some the history on Boalt’s drive for diversity. (But in reality, it should not be a surprise. UC has publicly stated its public policy of discounting test scores…moreover, if you read the minutes of the meetings in which they are discussed, it quickly becomes clear that tests are discounted relative to GPA to improve diversity. They are upfront about it.)
Of course, its no big deal. B-schools and engineering schools do the same, all the while claiming that they don’t.
Better yet, assuming that they are competitive, they should just pay the $75 and find out themselves.
