<p>hoedown: college admissions is supposed to be based soley on intelligence (i guess they assume this as how well you do on a test), essays (how good of a writer you are and how much you want to be there), and ECs (how much time you dedicate to outside activities), these are all things you control…skin color does not fall into that category, you cannot control that…your analogy doesn’t make sense at all…</p>
