[QUOTE="omores, post: 415480, member: 2099"] I absoloutely agree with mamadoc. The idea that many people carry around in there heads -- that an adcom is populated by conservative older men hell-bent on maintaining the tradition of the school -- does not reflect reality. Duke, for example, has the reputation of being a fairly conservative place. Yet their new assistant director of admissions is African American and gay, and speaks of trying to get the school as far away from its conservative reputation as possible. There's also a very active gay-straight alliance at the school. This is a place that would welcome students like you who are committed to a cause. I'm planning to work as an interviewer next year, and you'd get MAJOR points from me for being honest about who you are. I'd see it as a clear demonstration of your integrity. It's not just Duke -- I just mentioned it because I go there. I'm sure plenty of other schools are just as aware that the "diversity" they pledge to uphold means more than just a variety of skin tones. :) :) :D :) :) [/QUOTE]
