You have this wonderful penchant for ripping a single sentence from a lengthy post and thinking you've rebutted the arguments I laid out.

I applied and was accepted into my graduate program two years ago.
As I said, perhaps application forms have changed since you applied.

I wrote several paragraphs pointing out that you have the facts wrong.

You didn't answer any of the other points I raised.
Furthermore, your statement that there was a section explaining to outline any racial diversity you could offer the university doesn't support your point that affirmative action programs are based "purely" on race.
It supports mine that an admission's committee will look at race
among other factors. One of the most important factors is your cherished impoverished category. You may remember it under the section asking about your parents education and income. If you don't remember it, go back and re-read your application.
I also posted the federal government's website for loan money. There is an entire section devoted to parents' income and education level--all of which is reported to the school.
Yes, your facts are still wrong. Please educate yourself on the topic so I don't have to repeat myself.
