I definitely know it wasn’t a major part of why I got deferred at all, and I don’t want anyone to think I’m using it as an excuse (even though it is tempting to blame my deferral on something other than my application). Haha. I’m just curious because some universities value having minorities on campus more than others. I wasn’t trying to get at the affirmative action debate, just asking (like the person above said about females in engineering) if it could have given me a boost in any way. Thanks for all of the replies though!
