[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is applying to a professional program next year. I am aware of the lawsuit against Yale Medical School that was initiated because of supposed racial preferences. My child is mixed and in reality is more non-African than African. My child’s grades are very good (3.79) but not perfect. I am wondering if people like my child are better off identifying as white. Theoretically, the schools would see such an applicant as a benefit to a defensive strategy. That is assuming that my child’s GPA would effectively lower the GPA of white students, but not harm the average for African American students. Would this make my child look bad or unethical in any way? There is also the possibility that my child’s GPA is higher than that of white applicants and this strategy backfires. [/quote] That's sounds so 2024. Identity politics is over, get used to it. Nobody is forced to identify anymore, enjoy it.[/quote]
