Do colleges ask for sexuality on their applications and does it have any effect on admission?Answered
I'm pansexual and was wondering if colleges ask for sexuality on applications, and if this would impact me negatively in college admissions process?

I believe there's now a spot on the Common App for applicants to go into more detail on gender identity if they're trans, non-binary, etc., but no there's nothing that asks for your sexual orientation.
And in general, it wouldn't impact you negatively, and having a non-normative gender identity wouldn't have a negative impact either. Most colleges actually want the most diverse classes they can construct, so in some cases it could actually be a small boost.
from what i’ve seen, no they don’t. and i highly doubt it will affect your application. if it did, that would be discrimination, which is very bad.
