UVa ED and Affirmative Action

<p>Re: Washington Post Article:</p>

<p>The article does, however, have a sidebar that points to a WaPo web page with more and revealilng information on in-state applications. In-state blacks are admitted at a much higher rate with much lower test scores. 69 percent of black applicants were accepted, and their average SAT scores were 563 Verbal/545 Math. 48.4 percent of Asians were admitted with average scores of 626/660; 50 percent of white applicants with SAT scores of 643/647; and 49 percent of Hispanics with SAT scores of 623/619. By comparison the SAT scores of the 48 percent of Northern Virginians who were admitted were 644/651. The averages from the 54 percent who were admitted from the rest of the state were 626/618.</p>
