<p>Fast, was that post for me? If so, I’m not talking about the Ivies. Even if I were to apply as a senior, my chances are probably even slimmer than your typical applicant, considering what my application would look like (lack of EC’s, awards, APs, etc). I’m referring to colleges such as Barnard, which is an excellent school and my chances are much greater.
My situation has nothing to do with affirmative action, especially considering that the person being “discriminated” against (me) is from the same religious sect as those discriminating. My school doesn’t feel its appropriate for me to attend a regular college and they’re only going to attempt to prevent me because they think its best for me- the fact that they’re quite narrow minded and not willing to understand my perspective is another issue, but it’s not analogous to affirmative action.</p>
