[quote=Anonymous]I think the "minefield" part comes in precisely because these essays have explicitly been touted as work-arounds for affirmative action. For example, an Asian-American applicant may be reluctant to write about very significant lived experience out of concern that there are "too many" qualified Asians and that they'll be held to a higher standard if too much of their "Asian-ness" shines through. Everyone knows there are some lived experiences that are more desirable to admissions officers than others. So applicants have to balance authenticity with what colleges have signaled they want.[/quote]
