[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, For URM, do you consider their background? For example, would an AA applicant who has two highly educated parents (and maybe even multi-generations of highly educated relatives) who attended Ivies and are now professionals be considered at the same benchmarks as another AA applicant from the inner city who has to work to provide for the family? [/quote] This is SO MUCH easier said than done. I feel awful for these kids now who are expected to be self aware enough to make us laugh or cry under the extreme pressure of the application process. It is a type of navel gazing that isn't taught and doesn't come naturally to most people.[/quote]
