If you were white in college but hispanic in law school, you'd have some problems.They wouldn't have ones college app, they'd have their transcripts, which do not list race.Many institutions collect race data but do not disseminate it, as they'll tell you, it's collected for statistical reporting only, and in many cases, is not even tied to the applicant.Again, I just looked at my high school and college transcripts and both list my race and the race of my parents. Does that information not become apart of your official law school record? And is that record not used as the starting point for your BAR app?

Does that information not become apart of your official law school record? And is that record not used as the starting point for your BAR app?Your college transcripts state the race of your parents? I find that very hard to believe.

I find that very hard to believe.That what I thought, but I decided to not call him a liar directly and simply say that mine doesn't. But isn't that the great thing about the internet? You can make up supporting arguments.
Hopefully this will shut all you naysayers up. I marked out all the personal information .http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/z248/sstar_bucket/?action=view¤t=transcript.jpg
