How do admission officers check your ethnicity?

<p>

I don’t know if I would on that. D only visited 3 schools after she received her acceptances (8 in all). At her Bowdoin visit, when we were attending one of the admitted student socials and were talking to one of the admissions staff (if I remember correctly it was the head of admissions), the minute our daughter’s name was mentioned he began quoting content of my daughter’s essay. As for Harvard, at the first admitted student event (at Boston Harvard Club) my daughter ran into one of her admissions councilors. The AC’s first comment was how my daughters hair was straight and not curly that day. Then once my daughter moved into campus, that same AC was the Proctor of the hall next door. D ran into her that first day and all year as well. It would have been very hard to have BSed things. BTW when you accept the offer of admission you also acknowledge that if any part of your application was false, your acceptance can be recinded.</p>
