  • Racial Discrimination in College Process
    Jun 9 2022
    Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: Do You CARE?Episode #2.1: Racial Discrimination in College Process

    Instagram to be shared on the network’s Instagram handle: @carehv 

    You are listening to Do You CARE? with your host(s) the HV CARE Leaders.

    In this episode of Do You CARE the Podcast we will be discussing how the college application process affects different groups of people, our experience of applying to colleges, and what can be done to establish equal opportunities for everyone.

    Today’s Hosts: 
    • Olivia Kim
    • Xavier Jimenez
    • Anushka Agarwal
    • Elliot Block
    • Imani Horne
    • Regina Franco 

    Segment 1: Background Information on Us (pronouns, ethnicity, and maybe academic stats?)
    • Maybe whether or not we chose to submit our SAT score, did we have a tutor or consultant, APs, jobs? 
    • Name
    • Pronouns
    • Ethnicity
    • Major
    • SAT (did we submit our scores?)
    • School we’ve committed to?

    Segment 2: Inequalities in the College Process
    • Definition and important points:
    • How many schools did you apply to?
    • Why did you apply to those schools?
    • How much did application fees cost? (did you get a fee waiver anywhere)
    • How did you feel during the college process?
    • Essentially, the NEA, which is the National Education Association Labor Union, explains that the SAT exam is a standardized test. This means that everyone takes the same test regardless of where in the U.S. they live. The US doesn’t standardize high school education, which means that students from rural areas of the country will test lower than students from private schools in the northeast because of the type of education, curriculums, and experience they lack. 
    • The Washington Post released bar charts of information that show students who have parents with a higher education tend to score higher. Another chart shows that students whose parents have a high family income, are more likely to score higher and closer to a perfect score. Low income families receive low scores.

    • Each person shares their favorite dish growing up that is specific to their culture
    • Opens up about what cooking and eating was like for each of them

    Segment 2: What is the Lunchbox Moment (with personal experiences)?
    • Google definition: “refers to a shared experience of being judged for the cultural food Asian American children bring to school”
    • The term caters to Asian Americans specifically
    • But we are aware that other cultures (which are expressed within our episode 1 podcast group) face this
    • The lunchbox moment brought feelings of cultural isolation and need for assimilation
