RACE AND UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA ADMISSIONS:
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT YOU'LL GET IN?By answering the questions below, you can learn what your chances were of being admitted to the University of Virginia in 1999. Your chances will depend on your skin color and your ethnic group, in addition to your SAT scores, your class rank, your Virginia residency, and whether either of your parents attended the University.
The questions focus on several factors that appear to have been important to the University of Virginia in admitting freshmen in 1999. This program is based on and uses all variables available in the Lerner and Nagai analysis (see above in "What's New") of 1999 admissions data provided by the University of Virginia in response to a request for public records filed by the Center for Equal Opportunity. Additional information--such as athletic status, Virginia county of residence, high school reputation, the number of Advanced Placement courses taken, and extracurricular activities--was not made available to Lerner and Nagai and might also affect an individual's probability of admission.

The probability of your having been admitted into the 1999 freshman class at the University of Virginia is like a batting average. For example, a probability of 1.000 is guaranteed admission. A probability of .500 is an even chance of admission. A probability of .000 is no chance of admission.
If you believe you were denied admission to the University of Virginia because of your race or ethnic background, you may wish to discuss the matter with a lawyer. The Center for Equal Opportunity believes that discrimination based on race or ethnicity in college admissions is against the law.

Yes I have seen these ploys. I believe Jeb is doing the same in Florida and the Regents at Univ. of Calif. system may have implemented same by now. It remains a fraud and a disservice to all races.
