Unbias

In my job as an admissions reader, I am completely unbiased and impartial. If I were partial, though, I would be partial to the following applicants:

• Kids from Hawaii
• Kids who are gay
• Kids who are or ever have been Mormon
• Kids who want to be writers when they grow up
• Kids who write about superheroes (though I have yet to see one)
• Kids who write about Lauryn Hill (again, haven't seen this one yet but when I do he or she is definitely getting in--based on his or her other merits, of course)

I'm trying to figure out what the connection between all these things is, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
