Naive or Audaciously chasing my goals?

Find the 2006 US Commission on Civil Rights report on affirmative action in law schools.

I’m confused, Victory: it’s not that there was a 100% rejection rate for African-American students with GPAs between a 2.4 and a 2.8, LSAT 170+; it just appeared as if no one who meets those criteria applied. Is that not the correct reading of the data?

If I input LSAT 172-180, GPA 2.5-4.0, you see that there are only a handful of African-American students who applied to any of the T14 schools in that data set, but we know that approximately 13% of each school is African-American, i.e. between twenty and fifty students per law school. So how do you reconcile those two conflicting numbers, except by saying that the data you present are woefully inadequate?
