The article fully explained the calculation, and it was based on 150 points. Maybe you could summarise. How much of the score is related to SAT score? I didn't find the information in the article. Do you mean to imply that SAT score accounted for 12 points or less, or is a perfect score just a sweetener ontop of points awarded for the score itself? I am sceptical of the figure used. TP

How about answering the question? The candidates get 12 points for a perfect SAT score, and 20 points for being black. Does it make sense to provide double the points for the color of the skin as compared with the SAT score? I don't think its as unreasonable as you might think. Based on your posts with TP, it sounds like you are ignoring the 110 + or - pts not covered by the CNN article. I suspect those points are allocated to applicants for high school grades, high school activities, references, and the like. Its been my experience that schools put a heavier weight on those items rather than the SATs. ted
