[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course she shouldn’t give up a prestigious internship because its administration is being merged with a program for URM. It’s still basically the same opportunity ands she still had to interview and compete for it?  And could get valuable experience and connections? So no, she doesn’t give it up because the company reorganized their internships.  That’s not her fault. And it doesn’t make her less worth of the experience.

But, she should word it so it’s not deceptive on the application. First of all, because that’s the honest thing to do and character matters. And secondly because, sure, admissions are allegedly race blind now. But the emphasis is on allegedly. If the college reads the application, believes she is a URM, and then she does something like interview and it’s apparent she’s not Black, it could call her character into question.

So be honest in the listing: “completed Women in Business Internship at Goggle (please note this program was merged with the Black Women in STEM Internship at Google for summer 2024 and may appear under that name).

Done.

And congrats to your kid. I hope it’s a great opportunity.  [/quote]

I think this is a great response.[/quote]
