<p>"South Asian... Are you Filipino? They get AA."</p>
<p>Is that true? I'm filipino and irish and was going to put other on all my applications because i thought that neither nationality would benefit me. do filipinos really get bumped up via aa?</p>
<p>It probably depends on the school. In general Asians and Caucasians tend to have higher test scores, etc. than other ethnicities/races, but some smaller colleges looking to increase diversity might give you some kind of AA. I know U Mich doesn't, but there's a chance other schools might.</p>
