<p>Wow I hadn't even considered sexuality as part of the college admission process. I am bi and it has always been hard for me because I went to a catholic school for K-8th grade, obviously closeted. I am out with my friends and my parents "know" but I haven't officially come out to them, nor will I because my father is VERY homophobic. Interesting, I think it would be a plus as long as it's not a religious university.</p>
<p>Wow...bi??...already??......how old were you when u figured that one out??</p>
<p>How old were you when you figured out whether you were gay, straight or bi? I've known it since forever but I didn't admit it until I was out of a private, catholic school.</p>
<p>I know someone who put in that she was booted from her religion and family for being gay, but the theme of the essay was that her religion and family were the ones that were telling her not even to go to college - for religious reasons. So by being expelled, she was then free to do what she wanted and go to school. And she did go to college -- and has a 4.0 -- and has applied to transfer to elite schools. Other than as the turning point in her personal story, she did not mention being gay in her applications at all.</p>
