<p>Are you serious?
No on is stacking the deck against URM. The deck is stacked in their favor. They can get admitted with lower stats!</p>
<p>“Colleges give preferences to the children of alumni…mostly white. Colleges give preferences to children of parents that do not need financial aid…mostly white. State colleges give preferences to OOS students, who can pay more…mostly white.”</p>
<p>I got into U-M when it first switched to the Common App. I receive need-based financial aid. I am NOT the child of a U-M alum. I am an in-state student. Was the deck stacked against me?</p>
<p>Does me being white mean that the deck was NOT stacked me against me?</p>
