Do the people reviewing applications see ethnicity?

<p>Are you Asian, spywear?</p>

<p>What's hard is having a low GPA. :( Eek.</p>

<p>hahaha. I personally have never been to a wal-mart, but I can assure you that if you were doing homework at midnight and 15 seconds worth of gunshots went off literally in front of your house, you would be at least a little startled. I'm not saying that my life is hard because of last night, as that only happens a few times a year. I was just sharing a story. It seemed topical. And I do have an econ exam tonight that I was trying to study for but couldn't because of all of the commotion. I also couldn't sleep. So did it affect me? Yes I'm exhausted. Enough to gravely affect me enough to get a boost in admissions? Probably not this instance, no. But you know what has? The fact that I have to work full time while taking 16 units. Granted, this is more a financial disadvantage, but how many hours do you work spywear? If it's 40 like me, I'm confident you will agree that yeah, sometimes life is pretty f'ing hard. And stressful.</p>

<p>And before I finish my lunch break, I'd just like to direct this to spywear with all ethnicity issues aside (since apparently s/he is Jewish):</p>

<p>My 3.8 GPA + 40 hours of work + 16 units this semester >>>> your 3.5 GPA + lay-off from your school's library two months ago + taking no classes this semester.</p>

<p>God I love this forum's post history function, mwhaha!</p>

<p>gg. Kill the thread.</p>

<p>Nah, I'm not Asian. I'm glad I'm not though because I'd probably be forced to go hara-kiri for having a 3.5.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>I work about 60-70 hours a week between my day job and bartending at night. But honestly, I definitely understand how difficult and stressful living in an area like that can be after staying in San Bernardino and Riverside for a year and a half.</p>

</p>

<p>You're right, I am a dirty Jew. That's probably why I'm so quick to get heated. </p>

<p>Pun intended.</p>

<p>Oh cool. Well good luck to you all!</p>

<p>grey, jw but where in northeast LA do you live? </p>

<p>I live in the Glassell Park area (in northeast LA as well) and have experienced some of the same things like getting stuck in my house because my street was police-taped off due to a shooting.</p>

<p>Helicopters, sirens, and faint gunshots have become like background noise for me haha.</p>

<p>erikuh, I live in borderline Cypress Park/Highland Park off of Figueroa Street. You probably guessed it already, but last night was Avenue's-related. One of my neighbors (17 years old) was killed.</p>
