[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will threats by the new administration impact admissions review of applications in the upcoming year? No more diversity essay? Or don't highlight anything dealing with diversity or equity and the like in your essays or ECs?

According to a Trump Administration official who spoke about Harvard:
“[They] should assign Office of [sic] Civil Rights employees to the Harvard admissions office and direct the university to hold no admissions meeting without their physical presence,” Eden wrote. “The Office of Civil Rights should be copied on every email correspondence, and Harvard should be forced to provide a written rationale for every admissions decision to ensure nondiscrimination.”

It's not clear what his role is but it's safe to say there is pressure being exerted by the administration. Please, only comments on changes you think will occur - this is not an invite for trolls to hijack this thread![/quote]

Are you white? If so, why are you interested in this?[/quote]

Whites have voted majority GOP ever since the Civil Rights act of 1964. Coincidence? No.

The OP is white and wants his average white kid to continue to benefit from historical and embedded admissions advantages.

It's always about race. It's American history.[/quote]
