To those that were accepted into UW previously

They don’t care who you are. If you throw in some form of diversity (Like you did with the Jewish heritage), that’s a plus. They want to see that you’re aware of these kinds of things.

It doesn’t matter if you’re from Ghana, Sweden, Mexico, or whatever. Only clicking that button which says what race you are doesn’t do much. They want to see that you’re connected to your heritage, or have great understanding of culture, etc. They want to see you bring diversity to UW. If they grab a bunch of random colored people without caring what they wrote about, UW would be a pretty different place, in my opinion.

Please don’t worry so much. D:
