Based on what I’ve seen it’s niche majors, awards/national recognition, being pointy in something extraordinarily uncommon (Latin American studies; migration studies; Jewish studies; medieval studies), geographical diversity; legacy/donor or FGLI.

It's difficult to be non-offensive, but since you ask, for example, an Asian girl who captains the softball/pom/cheer team.

Which stereotypes do white students need to go against?


Stop baiting.

What type of female candidates tend to do well in regular decision? Assume top stats.

When the AO are “class shaping”?

Is it the undersubscribed majors? Weird and quirky interests?

What tends to stand out in the crowded RD field?
