She noted that minority students report being “confronted with racial epithets, as well as feeling isolated, ostracized, stereotyped and viewed as tokens” at UNC-CH And evidence shows that, as a whole, “underrepresented minorities are admitted at lower rates than their white and Asian American counterparts, and those with the highest grades and SAT scores are denied twice as often as their white and Asian American peers,” Biggs said.

Really? Hispanic and black students with the "highest grades and SAT scores" are denied twice as often as their white and Asian peers"? That sounds like complete nonsense.

Edit: the only way I can imagine this being true, is if it's saying, e.g., a Hispanic kid with a 1300 (higher percentile compared to other hispanics) is rejected at the same rate as an Asian kid with a 1600 SAT (relatively many Asians with 1600 SATs, so some might be rejected).
