None of the 150 socioeconomically deprived applicants to Boalt Hall were black. Dean Kay stated, "generally because African Americans who apply to our law school are not disadvantaged. Their mothers and fathers are professionals with good family incomes."

There were 77 Asian and White applicants denied admission who had higher LSAT scores than the top black admitted. Between 1997 and 1998 Blacks showed a 20% decline in applicants yet achieved a 78% increase in acceptances. Asians showed a 51% increase in applicants yet had an 11% decline in acceptances. Is this possible without race based admissions?

The difference between the GPA and LSAT scores among the racial groups accepted shows a wider gap than existed in 1996 when race based admissions were the norm.

There were 496 applicants to the class of 1998 who declined to answer the race question on their application. Of these, 101 were accepted.

The definition of "diversity" appears to relate to the percentage breakdown among applicants from Stanford, Harvard and Yale.

Although the admission process is not suppose to adjust upward the grades of private school applicants, it seems that some schools are producing graduates that are at least twice as capable and deserving of admission as UC and CSU applicants.

You have exactly the same chance of being admitted to UCB law if you are from out-of-state as if you are a resident. There is no effort made to accomodate California residents.
