<p>I mean, seriously.</p>
<p>Are we?</p>
<p>No. (10 chars)</p>
<p>Yes, but we're overrepresented so the effect is opposite of the one you want.</p>
<p>NOOOO</p>
<p>why.</p>
<p>Genetics.</p>
<p><em>roll eyes</em></p>
<p>But will me being female help?????</p>
<p>Female asian?</p>
<p>No, you'll need even higher scores than male asians to get into a good school (they usually expect girls to have higher GPA and SAT than boys).</p>
<p>No, they expect girls to be better at English????</p>
<p>girls have an advantage when it comes to science and engineering</p>
<p>asian is bad</p>
<p>Apply to a school that has too many boys. You will fare better there.</p>
<p>It depends on what schools you apply to. For some small Liberal Arts Colleges, Asians are considered under-represented minorities. Almost everywhere else they are considered over-represented minorities. a778999 is right; technological schools are male dominated and so, in an attempt to reach a 50-50 proportion, have much higher acceptance rates for females.</p>
<p>Asians are overrepresented by 15% in some schools. That means its going to be harder to get in than if you were white. Sorry.</p>

Are Asians considered minorities?

<p>At some LACs, yes.</p>
<p>^ Actually, that is an excellent point. Asians will have a tiny advantage at schools that are trying to diversify. Perhaps not the very top LACs, but certainly the ones slightly under the top 10 or 15 (that's a guess).</p>
<p>Wrong !^</p>
<p>Actually, it's very right. I've read a few direct quotes from admissions officers at good, but not highest tier LACs saying that they do, in fact, give a small boost to Asian applicants. Asians aren't overrepresented everywhere in the U.S.</p>
