Imagine that the max score on an evaluation is 100.
Then imagine in the local applicant group, every single person made a score of 90 or more.
Then imagine that everyone in the nonlocal applicant group did horribly and nobody got more than a 20.
According to the stimulus if the school gave out scholarships to the top 10 percent in each group then on one hand you'd have a couple of people who scored 90+ getting scholarships and on the other hand some people who made scores like 15, 16, 19 are also getting scholarships.
The reasoning of the school was that by giving out scholarships this way they would have given it to the highest scorers. But in my example that I just gave doesn't this just seem to just be bizarre that some people who are scoring low are getting scholarships? Any other handful of people from the local applicant group could be better than the outcome that I just illustrated.
So that's why it's D.
