[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would it even matter if an application reader thought so??? [/quote]

It matters bc it can very likely provide a boost to the kid’s app (good) but if the AO suspects kid lied to access a program not intended for her, it can matter in a bad way. [/quote]

No boost. Not even likely, much less "very likely."  There is a whole army of lawyers swarming all over the applications process since before the SC decision. And now that it is the law of the land the potential payouts are so huge that some (of the lawyers) are betting their futures on catching [i]just one[/i] school screwing up. The likelihood of that is vanishingly low. It is not worth it. Not one of these schools is going to risk their multi-billion dollar endowment on a kid who listed an EC that [i]maybe[/i] means they are URM [/quote]

This is simply not true. My kids attend a private and they are making sure that these kids' applications convey "URM" in a million ways.  These kids are getting a boost (very obvious based on results). Ultimately colleges can take who they want and they still are. [/quote]
This. In fact, my kid received many brochures from schools after ruling that specifically said URM status should be discussed in essays.[/quote]
