Transcending Race on Your College Application

"Bottom line for the soon-to-be-college applicant: colleges will consider many factors other than your grades and scores when they make their admissions decisions. Some you have control over (like how you communicate about your accomplishments and how you communicate about yourself in your resume and essay(s)). Others (like your race) you have no control over. Each college applicant can only make the best of what he or she has, so make sure that the factors that you do have control over build the best case possible for your acceptance."
