If they couldn't pass up a white student without checking the ethnicity/race box, then no I"m sorry they don't. Same goes for rich white kids who are getting in on daddy's recommendation and money. If you don't have the grades and everything else to get into the institution, then you don't deserve it more than the white/whatever student who has worked their ass off all their life. Disclaimer: I am NOT saying that there are minority students who don't work their asses off. THEY are the deserving ones. I'm glad to be part of the group that says I got into my 1st choice school on my merits rather than getting those extra admissions points for being a minority or for how much money my family has.
I wish I could find Michigan's admissions points sheet. They posted somewhere before but I can't remember where. Just for being a minority, you get BIG points.
