<p>ant: I am not an admissions counselor (and I am not sure if that would be a compliment or an insult). But there are a number of people in the world, and in Athens, that interact with people in admissions, and are realistic. You blamed a person being admitted on being a URM and being treated differently, yet I am guessing you might look around and see other URM students who were denied and their numbers might “seem” better. But if a college (GT, UGA, UNC), states that they are looking at the whole student, then you cannot go by numbers. And if you did not read the “stronger” person’s application, see what they gave to a college in their application, etc, then how do you know what they looked like to a college? You know what your application is like, and what you gave colleges, but you only have a partial view of the others.</p>
