Concept behind the "pre application"

<p>

They don’t ask for ethnicity or race on the pre-app, so it doesn’t seem like it functions as a vehicle for gathering names for Discovery weekend.

<p>Which would make sense, as Discovery Weekend is not an event aimed at minorities. People of all backgrounds were invited, and both minorities and majorities were offered all-expenses paid trips (but not everyone was offered that).</p>
