Not the point I was trying to argue...in this thread.
frenzymando asked, with a little hyperbole, whether, as a white male, you have "basically no chance" of getting in off the NWL after the top 150 slots are filled by WCS. momwpgirl responded that the Class of 2018 still had 66% white and 78% male. But, at this late stage, we aren't talking about the whole admissions process, are we? We're talking about coming off the NWL after the congressional slates have been decided and the top 150 NWL slots also.
From my learning on this site, this is when they take people off the NWL and they don't have to go by WCS, right? They try to fill certain class composition "goals" during this process, correct? If, historically, white males have applied at much greater rates than others, then that's probably not a class composition goal at this point in the process. I would guess they have that covered by now.
And to partially answer nzpete's question, there have been numerous public statements by USMA that they want more women and minorities. So, to answer frenzymando's question, would the odds not be, if not "basically no chance," then at least "less favorable" for a white male to come off the NWL at a time in the admissions process when they are trying to increase female and minority numbers to meet their "goals?"
