<p>"Of course anyone interested in politics has to be open minded, it's just part of the process."</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not everyone is.</p>

<p>That's why I didn't go to Brown. I actually even asked for a conservative roommate here--didn't get one, but many conservatives are put in predominately liberal rooms, and vice versa. I know of one conservative guy who has 3 gay roommates. (Harvard has a sense of humor.)</p>
<p>"But objectively speaking, what are my chances in getting into this great university?"</p>
<p>I think you have strong chances. Best of luck.</p>
