> The school was a bit shocked when she arrived to see a 5'1 girl dressed in a way typical of Orthodox Jews. What "school" inspects every single arriving Fresh

  > What "school" inspects every single arriving Freshman? Pretty much every single school that makes freshmen live on campus, which is pretty much every single school. > Additionally, there is not much overlap between Orthodox Jewish and African-American surnames. I'm going to make an educated guess you do not happen to live either in any of the urban areas with large Jewish and African-American populations or you at least do not happen to socialize with both groups. I can virtually guarantee you that you would have a very hard time sorting names in Bed-Sty, Flushing, Cheltenham, area around City Line Ave, Norristown, etc. The policies to prop any group always bite because those policies presume that the other groups won't figure out how to profit off them and those policies typically do not have a way to stop a determined adversary.

    In my experience this is not the case. You could live on campus, but I've never seen any member of the admissions committee in person, and any faculty living in your same dorm have no idea what you wrote on your application.

      Oh you misunderstood or I was not clear -- i meant the spreadsheet that listed who was assigned to where that is used by the staff to deal with the move in.
