Is your statement based on actual statistics?

^^^ @paveyourpath: My statement is anecdotal based upon facts. For example, when my daughter was admitted to Harvard, Admissions sent her (and all newly admitted students) the names and contact information of every Regional Admissions Officer just in case students had an questions about their application or the college itself. The list was dominated by women. In addition, some colleges, such as MIT, publish profiles of Admissions Officers. One look at the photos of MIT’s Admissions Officers should clue you in as to who is reading your application. By in large, they are NOT old, white or male: http://mitadmissions.org/pages/meet.
