<p>were there any seniors last year? I’m a current senior…</p>
<p>@proletariat2
by the way, I know I’m getting a little off topic, but where are you thinking about going to college?</p>
<p>yeah, i’ve emailed Ms.Durham twice about it, the first time they missed it and now</p>
<p>Quick question, is there any sort of affirmative action involved in selecting for the program?</p>
<p>Wow, Lubbock=the cottonest city in the world~
I wonder if we can have a field trip to the local cotton fields & factories if we are accepted.</p>
<p>I think they need to pick at least 4 Texans in order to receive the funding to pay for the program… so in some ways I guess that’s affirmative action.</p>
<p>oh, that’s not good =/, where did you find this out?</p>
<p>^^I don’t think so. I think there are just more Texas applicants. The funding is pretty safe - it comes from the Anson Clark Foundation, which may exist solely for the purposes of Clark Scholars.</p>
<p>And racial affirmative action…just not. Look at the racial breakdown from last year. 6 Chinese people, 4 Indian, 2 white.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I suppose you could suggest it to Ms. Durham as soon as you’re accepted…:P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, there was one.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Still waiting on April decisions. The suspense is killing me…
Applied to Grinnell, Swat, Pomona, Harvard, Chicago. Already in at University of Michigan and Michigan State (full ride at the latter).</p>
<p>k, that’s what I thought, but just making sure…</p>
<p>Yeah, guys, don’t get so nervous about this. Also, don’t ask us questions we have no way of knowing about. We’re not on the (rather small) admissions committee or anything. We’re just guessing, really.</p>
<p>a little off-topic, but 5 Chinese and 1 TAIWANESE</p>
<p>
Excuse me? You really think so or he/she classified himself/herself as so?</p>
<p>^^ Haha, my parents always separate Chinese and Taiwanese</p>
<p>Really? Taiwan is a part of China, forever. It is an undeniable fact and encouraging the separation is not the right practice of democracy. Please read Perilous Power and you may be able to understand why.</p>
<p>^^^^I’m talking about the truth, not what she classified herself as. 
^^^Yes.
^Not according to her.</p>
<p>“Taiwan is a part of China, forever. It is an undeniable fact and encouraging the separation is not the right practice of democracy.”</p>
<p>more like opinion but okay…</p>
<p>How is that an opinion?</p>
<p>If I said Hawaii is a part of the US, would you also consider that to be an opinion?!</p>
<p>Thanks iceui2 :)</p>
<p>“Taiwan is a part of China, forever. It is an undeniable fact and encouraging the separation is not the right practice of democracy.”</p>
<p>Haha, Taiwan is there in the first place because of the conflict over democracy, (and because the nationalists were weaaak). So yeah, Taiwan and China just don’t mix. (Communists and ‘democrats’). But China’s got all the power while Taiwan is still struggling to make it into the UN. So I guess Taiwan could blend into china. And, I suppose Hawaiians are more different from other Americans than Taiwanese are Chinese.</p>
<p>Chinese people are not actual communists. The textbooks are quite misleading.</p>
