[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is URM at small NY private and we hired private counselor as well. Writing is her strength and one of her essays talks about her identity but really ties with what she wants to do. Editors loved her essay and no one said anything about not mentioning race

BUT DH and I had already decided that if DDs scores were not within 50 percent of university, we would not want her mentioning identity. [B]It is an awful environment but I think minority applicants are going to be subject to stricter scrutiny[/b]. DD has high stats, rigor, leadership so I think it is fine in her situation but I think each minority applicant needs to make a careful assessment. [/quote]

Asians have been dealing with three question of whether to state their race or write about their race for a while now.  At least your race still might help you if you have high stats.  There is no scenario where race helps for the Asian kids.  [/quote]

First they come for Latino and Black students, and then they’re coming for the Asian students. Hilarious you think maga wants Asians. Don’t be a dunce![/quote]
