[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]URM DD has her ethnicity in one of her essays but tied explicitly to an activity in which she eventually excelled and received multiple awards. She is also high stat with rigor and test scores. I would not include mention of background in any essay if your GPA or test scores are below 50th percentile of particular school. Minority applicants will be subject to increased scrutiny.[/quote] Good point. Also think if you are TO and/or have any app weakness (as you suggested above) but instead are ORM, then, and only then make sure to mention your race. That way they know they wont be unintentionally picking a lower stat URM - which may be their concern.[/quote]
