I believe the data is at the link below.

[IAS Historical Data: First-Time First-Year Applicants by Race](http://www.web.virginia.edu/IAAS/data_catalog/institutional/historical/admission/first_by_race.htm)

Last year, almost 50% of blacks were admitted, by far the highest %; the total acceptance rate was 36.7%.

So you can make one of two conclusions:

-black applicants to UVA are doing so with a set of credentials, test scores, and high school accomplishments that not only meet UVA’s tough guidelines, but also are far superior to every other racial class

OR

-UVA uses 2 sets of criteria and significantly lowers the bar for black applicants in order to admit a far greater % and admits a large number of blacks whose set of credentials, test scores, and high school accomplishments are inferior to all other applicant races.

Dean J…care to tell everyone which is correct?
