The campus is overwhelmingly white and Asian. It’s baffling to me the number of posts by people who claim that white and/or Asian people are somehow at a disadvantage in the application process.

How do your grades and coursework compare to others from your school? Do you have compelling extracurricular activities, or is your involvement a checklist of things you think college admissions offices want to see? Are you writing an original essay, or one that hundreds of other applicants are writing similarly?

These are the questions you should be asking because these are things you can control. You have zero control over being born purple, blue, or orange.
