[quote=Anonymous]I feel like this thread was accidentally pulled from the archives. The questions and some responses are so out of date. Universities do not pay attention to any 'box' indicating race anymore. Although the common app has a question like this, for the vast majority of schools, the data are only sent to them after admissions decisions are done (so they can keep track for statistical purposes). It's possible that universities will pay attention to surname or some other indication of race on the application (they're technically not supposed to, but once they see information they can't un-see it). So all you have to do is to write the applications in a way where race is not obvious. (You can skip the race question or not-- it's not part of the application that most universities will have in front of them when making decisions.)[/quote]
