<p>I read somewhere that in UC applications, they can't see your name when they evaluate the stuff, like stats/essays. maybe they give you a code or something. If so is that true? I say this becuase if you are a over represented minority or a URM, and you marked "decline to state" or other in the race category, they wouldn't know your race since they can't see your name and your name doesn't give it aways?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>It is my understanding for UC's that your application is given a number so they do not see your name or ethnicity.</p>

<p>Proposition 209 forbids it. I'm sure that the UCs can't see their applicants' names; otherwise, the applicants' ethnicities would be discernable by their surnames. :rolleyes:</p>
