<p>I have a problem with this comment. I do not believe that there is a “lower” standard for URMs because essentially you would be comparing apples to oranges. If you come from a disadvantaged background, first college generation, English as a Second Language, etc and have a 26 or 28 ACT, maybe, that would be the equivalent for a white middle class kid score of 32 or 34. Perhaps the URM, given the opportunity and the training, could reach the same goals as the other kids. It is that “opportunity” what the schools try to make available…( at least that’s the way I see it )</p>
<p>Now, the same would apply for any kid that comes from an underprivileged background…whether white or blue…</p>
