<p>Diversity. I’m convinced that nobody, including adcoms, even cares what this truly means and stands for anymore; as long as a school “has” it, it becomes “better.”</p>

<p>“We have a diverse student-body!”
“I love diversity!”
Heck, when I visited Duke, one of its street-posts said, “We believe in diversity.” Really?</p>
