I remember talking to the admissions guys at University of Chicago and Northwestern at an even my highschool had for the Juniors coming in. They had 2 or 3 of us Seniors who had just fnished the process (Waiting for responses so I guess I wasn't done, still ended up having to write another essay for Cornell and Carleton and think about one for Bates) and they talked about all the diverstiy they looked for in in a freshman class... I'm still convinced that conversation got me accepted to Chicago but I could be wrong..

Regardless of all that yeah, it is very, very hard to get an academic based grant at these private univversities unless you are 1) from an interesting background or 2) Just have something special about you, be it intelligance, talent at something or whatever... I will say this, not too many suburban, WASP, males from familis with a college background got the grants for diversity, lol.. That is because that is what 70% of the school already was, if not more, lol....
