It’s a clever loophole: ask about race… without expressly requiring students to write about their race.
New York’s Sarah Lawrence College explicitly cites the Supreme Court’s ruling in their admissions essay prompt.Taylor says these new essay prompts leave many students grasping at straws: “They’re often confused because they think to themselves, ‘If I’m not an underrepresented minority, if I’m not a member of the LGBTQ community, how do I answer this question?’”
“A number of students are disappointed that they feel they have to write about their race in their essay prompt. And they’re correct to think so,” Taylor said, referring to increasing their admissions odds. “They need to let it be known that they are Black or Latino or Native American, and they need to let it be known how that shaped who they are.”, told The Post she’s glad she was in the last class to apply before the ruling for this very reason.
