But in this instance, better qualified whites are being blatantly passed over in favor of those who are not just marginally less qualified, but those who are GROSSLY less qualified.

I don't see that at all. It would appear that nobody that isn't qualified is even considered. ( I finally noticed the sidebar explanation of the points scheme ). SAT isn't even in that list, so either they don't look at it at all (which I doubt) or there is a big piece of the puzzle missing. So a a perfect SAT score gets 12 points, what does a perfect score minus one get? It would appear that of the 150 points only 40 can be due to these special and miscellaneous items, so that means 110 points come from somewhere else. This incomplete writeup is deceitful.

(check tomorrow for a correction that states that 120 points come from a perfect SAT score, that is my guess)
