Harvard’s newspaper said the university’s recent restructuring of its essays on applications alienates those with marginalized backgrounds.
, has called the university’s recent restructuring of its essays on applications to have a “disparate impact” on those with marginalized backgrounds.
“Learning to package yourself within a shorter amount of space is a product of advanced education; longer essays more equitably allow applicants to discuss their experiences in full, particularly if they are from non-traditional backgrounds and require more space to elaborate on nuanced qualifications,” the statement read.
According to the board, applicants engage in “trauma dumping” to help give the university a better understanding of their background and how they have overcome obstacles in their lives. The editorial board also believes that one of the new essay prompts asking applicants to share a memorable intellectual experience is alienating.
