7

<p>Why not make a thread like this the day of decisions instead of two weeks before so that the first several pages aren’t full of useless discussion and bumps? Wait just a little bit more so that the thread can actually be useful from the start.</p>

<p>*** with that URM? why hispanic is considered minor and polish is not? i understand they’re trying to help those without “equal chances”, but who has equal chances? i think race has nothing to do with that :/</p>

12

<p>Way to mock URM’s hell…you’re stats are diff on like every acceptance thread…</p>

13

<p>^■■■■■…10chart</p>

14

<p>^Sonicexx,</p>

<p>Polish is not considered an URM because Polish people are considered Caucasian.</p>

15

<p>^ yes, my D is from Europe and she is considered white :(!</p>

16

<p>ok i know. i meant that skin color/origin shouldn’t be the basis for special admission. but that was an overspoken thread. </p>

<p>i probably should write in my app that, despite i am polish, i look like asian because of mongolian origin of my mother-side family xD</p>

17

<p>^^ Asian is even worse than white…</p>

18

<p>hellflame is a freakin ■■■■■. ignore his posted stats</p>
