UC Admissions "Scandal" of 2009! ... Yo, let's not freak out... just yet (Part 3 of 6)

Day 3... if you're still with me, kudos to you!  So, as a review...part 1 was about the current policy and part 2 was about the new policy and predicted racial demographics of students who will be Entitled to Review (ETR) in the UC admissions process. Today, we're going to address this SCARY line in the email sent to community folks by the API Caucus chair. Regarding the policy changes, he states:
These changes negatively affect API applicants and will likely result in lower percentages of API students being admitted to UC campuses.
Alright folks, time to clarify some points in this statement and discuss the difference between ETR (formerly known as "UC eligible") and admissions.
