Chris, in this hypothetical case all other factors are equaled including taking advantage of available resources. The only differences are race, family background and scores.

This is not a useful hypothetical case.



At the end, it is the race that matters.

Definitely not. As Chris has said, race is only one of many factors considered by the admissions office when deciding whether to admit or deny a student.
