<p>The three other law schools who include this on their application are Univ of Penn, Univ of Washington, and Boston University.</p>

<p>I think that’s great since it will be used to better support the students.</p>

<p>do the other students get to hang with alumni and mentors? or just the gay ones…?</p>

<p>Why don’t they just ask the question of incoming students, after they are accepted and enroll? Is it part of the admissions decision? If yes, I don’t think it should be. If no, why not ask the question later?</p>

<p>How will applicants know that the information won’t be used against them? It just takes one adcom to pretend to be gay friendly to sink an application</p>

<p>This should not be on the apps. It may be fine for after acceptance for some of the above stated reasons. It’s none of their business during the app process. It’s neither a plus or a negative.</p>

<p>They should have four different boxes from which to choose. GW Law School has no business forcing applicants to group themselves together.</p>
