[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of gender imbalance, when all the trans-boys apply to college, what will they be counted as? Trans/other? Girls? Boys?[/quote]

all the trans boys"....WTF kind of MAGA culture war queer bashing nonsense is this?

As an admissions insider that's seen hundreds of apps, I can count on less than 4 fingers how many checked non-binary or other or trans. None if them wrote about it in their essays.

Fun fact, schools don't police the identity of applicants. Nobody's looking up skirts, pulling down pants, or doing ancestry DNA tests to confirm how "of color" someone is.

Trust me. It's not fun to be the U in underrepresented in higher education.

Identity cheaters will always slip by. But there are way more legacy/side door/private tutored applicants pushing "embellished" apps from entitled, status-chasing parents.

Newsflash, you're "qualified" kid is a commodity. There's no magic formula, no matter what consultants tell you.

The "trans" are taking your varsity QB's spot any more than Black kids are getting a "boost" over Asians.

Each school has its own, often conflicting, admissions process.

Including, I kid you not, flipping a coin.

So let's not drag (ahem) kids into partisan politics and higher education economics and business models.

In this century, where you go to school for undergrad is less important than how well you do when you get there.
