My Friend got a Phone Call From the Harvard Undergrad Minority Recruitment?

I didn’t read the rest of the thread, but I highly doubt favorable economic circumstances nulify the URM advantage. Private colleges everywhere face the political pressure to admit a certain percentage of minority students into the student body—> minority students who have overcome economic hardships are perhaps more readily admitted than those growing up in a wealthy environment but have the same degree of academic and extracurricular achievement, but between, say, a white applicant and an minority applicant of the same background and qualifications, wouldn’t you think that being URM alone would bring somewhat of an advantage?

<p>Thank you; I agree fully.</p>
