It barely impacts our chances. | Yes we outnumber minorities alot. But yet why is there this fact then?
Race Applied Accepted %Accepted Avg. GPA Avg. MCAT
Asian/White 4675 140 3.0% 3.79 11.6
Black/Hispanic 489 51 10.4% 3.42 9.8
In 1997, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine was three times more likely to admit an applicant if they checked the race box marked "black" or "hispanic" than if they checked "asian" or "white."
How can it be that Black/Hispanic applicants are 3 times as likely to be admitted as Asian/Whites? It can't be explained by higher academic qualifications -- on average, the "black" or "hispanic" applicants have lower grades and test scores. Despite claims of "equal opportunity," despite the U.C. Regents decision in 1995 to halt the consideration of race in admissions, the University of California clearly cared a great deal what race you were. They cared enough to triple your chances of admission if you checked the right box.

Considering how much worse blacks and minorities have it in this country compared to the white majority I think MORE of this should occur. |
