Stereotypes

Why is it not acceptable to ask about disabilities on a document prior to acceptance and it is okay to ask a persons race for financial aid? Seems like the same thing? It's like asking a juror to disregard counsel's last statement isn't it? As a human being it's hard to "unknow" something.

Competition of other schools

This really strikes a chord with me. There are things that you hear from potential students that have visited other schools.  I try not to take it personally, but it is personal. I am confident on the attributes and strengths I bring to the school.
