<p>Does being Asian or Indian hinder your ability to be accepted into the top schools?</p>
<p>Let’s just say it doesn’t help. Kind of like being a not poor not first generation not athletic white boy from the NE.</p>
<p>Indians are Asians…</p>
<p>Why would you even ask…</p>
<p>Some of my Indian relatives have told me that there are so many being accepted that it hurts your chances (not that it’s ever affected them). I don’t think it’s true, because why should race matter- anyway there’s plenty of smart people from all races. I wanted to prove them wrong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yes but not the ones that you normally think of when people say asian</p>
<p>if someone says asian the three nationalities that pop into peoples minds are either Korean, chinese, or japanese</p>
<p>It’s sad, why do we leave out Indians in Asia? xO It’s like they’re in a separate continent :(</p>
<p>Colleges say they don’t take race as a factor, but in reality i think they do. I’m not trying to offend anyone here, but if you compare the stats of white and blacks who both applied for the same high tier school, the blacks’ stats are lower than the whites’, yet they are accepted while the whites aren’t. Sorry if i offend anyone, i’m just looking from a statistical point of view. And I know, not all blacks have lower stats than whites, some are really really smart. ;)</p>
<p>Well, is this good news for an arab? Im really starting to doubt the US Census’s Beareu to group “Middle Eastern” and “White” under the same race (WTH!!!). Even from my name, theyd probably think Im Lebanese or something (Im straight up arab, Arabian Peninsula, none of that mediterranean Syrian/Lebanese/Iraqi/Palestinian stuff, you know, Thobes and Oil arabs! not battlefield arabs who are close to the white race in colour).</p>
<p>I cant claim my race through my mother either (Javanese), cause then its pretty much asian as well.</p>
<p>HALP!</p>

<p>Technically, since India is a subcontinent of Asia (along w/ other countries in South Asia) Indians are sub-Asians. ;)</p>
