Undergraduate / Whitman College Supplement: Diversity Through Experience. [5]

hello! BLEEP BLEEP ALARM!

i really hope you have not sent this out yet--or you are about to come off as a VERY STUPID PERSON. (and i mean this in all kindness) i am not sure what you maybe meant with the whole DNA strand analogy thing, but the way you used it doesn't make sense, doesn't add to your essay and is BIOLOGICALLY INCORRECT.

an organism is NOT comprised of many different DNA strands. an organism is made up of many many cells inside of which holds a single strand of DNA that is specific to the organism. each cell in the organism holds the EXACT SAME COPY of that DNA strand. all individuals have unique DNA, but the DNA is the SAME throughout the cells. YOU SEE? the analogy you tried to employ is the OPPOSITE of what you want to get across!!!

i hope you have time to change this, and good luck with your application!
