[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They base a huge part of the admissions decision on "experience factors" - meaning:

- race / URM status.

Asians are at a distinct disadvantage under this new system. [/quote]

Well race and URM status aren't known. Selection is race-blind, and including that info is illegal in the US. [/quote]

Technically, experience factors are qualifying for FARMS, special education students, etc. But they do force students to include their race to apply. Why collect that data at all on the application?[/quote]

Except the selection committee doesn't know the race of the applicant because that would be illegal if they did you could bring a multimillion dollar suit and win[/quote]

You know that is false.

A “winning” essay is about how your parents were farm workers from Latin America but you overcame adversity to apply to TJ.  Or may show you became president of the BIPOC after school club.

But if your essay focuses on how you learned Mandarin, mastered the violin, or speak fluent Hindi, then you will not be selected.
