<p>They are starting to ask. Some schools have asking for further clarification just like they ask asian students. Also, if a student is a permanent resident, schoola are asking for your country of citizenship along with your alien registration number.</p>
<p>I don’t think that they are starting to give lesser consideration to applicants of carribean or african born parents, but there is a shortage of African american students who are not the offspring of immigrants, and colleges are trying to attract these students. Even though there are only a small number of african american students at “elite schools” overall, the majority of these students are the children of carribean or african born parents. So if a school is looking for tip factors, an african american student, especially one with roots in the rural south would get a bigger tip.</p>
