I am curious as to the selection criteria for the MOSAIC program. I ask because I noticed while perusing other college-related sites that a few of those who received an invite were white applicants who stated they had made no mention of any kind of any diversity on their applications. As the parent of a qualified non-white applicant who considers Vanderbilt his top-choice school, I found that information troubling.

Sandra: We review applications holistically and many different OUA counselors make the MOSAIC invite decisions. They take multicultural backgrounds and/or work with multicultural groups into serious consideration. You have to remember that individuals can put information out there on the web that is false or with the intent to be inflammatory. Here at OUA (and on this blog in particular) we place truth and transparency in the highest regard. I can personally assure you that we did not invite students to MOSAIC without good reason. I can also assure you that we are giving your child the fullest respect in our ongoing review.
