[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Race can be used via your essays and how your race has played a role in your life. You just do not have the box checking so colleges that choose can increase diversity through essays.[/quote] When the SP decision came out, I remember people saying that that is one way to get around being able to consider race. Still, I feel like less schools are going to consider race unless a racial quota is directly tied to receiving school funding. In general, these race based policies seem to have caused more damage than good (at least in the current day environment). Either deserving non-minority kids are getting rejected or deserving under-represented minority kids are looked at as though they only got in because of the race based policies. Both situations are NOT ok. Many schools seem to be conscious of not taking race into their admissions decisions after the SP decision. [/quote]
