Does race really matter in grad school apps?

Hey all,

So I’ve been preparing for graduate school, and I’ve noticed that on all the apps they ask for your ethnicity and make a big deal about the percent of people of color at their school (just like in undergraduate school, but it seems to an even bigger extent in grad school). So my question is, do they really take into account your race, ethnicity, and nationality when admitting you to grad school?
