The hard to believe part is the interview. I didn’t go on one

The highly selective schools want to be sure that if you say you’re black you really are, to qualify for all the mulligans (and the full ride) they give you. They also want to make sure that not too many Asian half-breeds with white fathers (and last names) sneak in by checking off “white” under race/ethnicity, thus bypassing the higher admissions standards for Asians. The interview is the only way to be sure.
