So race is equivalent to Provost Discresion? Of course that would only be true if white students are assigned zero and black get 20. The post doesn't exactly spell out enough details to say. TP

RE:"As for the undergraduate college, the university awards minority students 20 points on the basis of their race toward a 150-point admission system. By comparison, an outstanding essay receives one point and a perfect SAT score 12 points. Twenty points are also awarded to "scholarship athletes" and 20 go toward applicants who are included in a category called "provost's discretion." So black athletes can get 40 points right out of the blocks. 60 if they are really good?
