"They got in because they're black"?

I agree with kali22, I think it’s just one of the MANY factors that colleges use in admissions. No one truly knows why anyone gets in. Just because your black does not mean your automatically in a top school. I remember seeing that Cornell accepts 20% of the blacks that apply. But they have a 16% acceptance rate. Which means 80% blacks get rejected. The only reason why they accept “more” blacks is because not that many blacks apply in the first place. And more people are applying to college so it’s going to get more competitive.
