[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Race is not part of the application anymore, folks. My kid just applied. There’s no “race box” anymore. You can talk about your race in your essay if you want to but that’s it.[/quote] Wrong - it is still part of the common app - you chose whether you fill it in. It is on almost all requests for info on schools websites - some are optional, some are not but for those you can chose decline to report or check the “other” box. So if SCOTUS says they can use race, why are they still collecting it? Because they use it. 🤨[/quote] It's not used for admission but is used for data collection to see how many X are admitted to the school. It's still a useful statistic. Same as knowing how many women vs men. [/quote]
