Answer
1755 students applied to the magnet school program for admission: 53% were accepted, 17% were wait-listed, and 30% were turned away. While the overall acceptance rate was 53%, 93.8% of blacks and Hispanics were accepted, only 37.7% of Asian were accepted, and only 35.55 of whites were accepted. Overall, 29.5% of applicants were black and Hispanic, and only 6% of those were turned away. Asians accounted for 16.6% of all applicants, but 25.4% of those applicants were turned away. Whites were the 54% of the applicants; 68.5% of those were turned away. This shows that the admission decisions are not made independently of the applicant's ethnicity.
