<p>From my point of view, you started off by saying my being Hispanic was “the MAJOR factor.” While I agree that is was a factor, you initially dismissed my other accomplishments by denoting “the” (singular) instead of just one of many. Maybe that’s not your intention, but it’s what I read. Then you went on to say that an ‘Asian’ version of me had no chance of admission, and that is not true. Less of a chance, most definitely, but still a respectable chance.</p>
<p>Also, just so it’s known, I never mentioned I was low-income or from a single-parent household (with many siblings) anywhere in my application. I didn’t feel it was relevant to what I wanted to convey. I think those factors contributed to my ambitions, but they aren’t things I value in and of themselves. It’s interesting to think they didn’t know any of those things, but still choose me. I guess they somehow knew I would add diversity in more ways than I explicitly stated.</p>
