Yes, I was denied admission and a scholarship to Law school because I was a white male state resident. Their diversity admission quota had been met for my "classification".
Excellent scores, 4.0 Undergrad GPA, top of my class in the Dept. of Poly Sci., The University of Montana only gave out so many scholarships and accepted only so many in state applicants. They also had a racial quota they were following at the time (1990), which has since then been rescinded. The Director of the Poly Sci. Dept told me if I was a female or POC I would have been accepted. I just was not able or willing to go out of state to get my JD, so I got a masters in ED and taught high school and later at the same college I was an alumni until retirement a few years ago.

We're your LSATs good? The same happened to a friend that couldn't afford to take on loans. It was in the 90s.

There ya go, you were too smart, they needed an applicant that was stupid. Makes perfect sense-to someone somewhere, maybe.
