I was told in college, after I got to FSU (the next best acting school in the US that year) that had Yale known how much Native American I had in me I would have been able to get in.
FSU would have offered me a scholarship based on it. It was restricted to specific majors, not in fine arts and had I been able to take it I would not have.
I am not affiliated with any tribe and do not identify myself as a Native American.
The idea that I could have had a hand-out based solely on a quarter of my ethnicity was, frankly, insulting.
Also, I only had to have a C average.
Ironically, by the time I graduated, Yale's national standings for my major dropped and FSU was a better school in the undergrad department.
