<p>I have seen mixed results when this question is posed, so I decded to post it for myself. Does race really play a considerably large factor in whether you get in? For example, if an Asian student with a 4.0 GPA, 36 ACT, and 2300 SAT who played cello got 6 years was compared to an African American student with a 3.7 GPA, 34 ACT, and 2100 SAT who worked at McDonalds, who would have a better chance of getting in? Is there really a race quota? What schools do/do not use race as a factor in admissions?</p>
<p>Refer to the common data set to check if race is considered or not at specific colleges. No two students are ever compared the way you are making up, no. </p>
<p>Thank you! </p>
