I was once told that my daughter has three strikes against her: she is a female, caucasian and from New York. The last thing colleges need are more white girls from New York. So while these admission stats don’t lie, they certainly don’t openly admit that the playing field isn’t fair across the board. Any advice for students that are unfortunately not like Kwasi Enin, but just as qualified?
Hi Steve,
Know that we have many female, Caucasian students from New York who gain admission to Ivy League and other highly selective colleges each and every year. There’s nothing you can do about that so don’t lose any sleep over it. There are lots of things your daughter can do to differentiate herself in the admissions process. It’s a big part of what we do at Ivy Coach.
