<p>Reading all the "CHANCE MEs" on this forum, there seems to be a high number of Asian applicants from the US applying ED.
How do you think that'll affect these applicants especially for Early decisions?</p>
<p>I'm only half asian myself, but I'm super curious... Cause that box is still checked for my common app...</p>
<p>Don’t know your chances but I will say that Northwestern seems to be 45% Asian, 45% Jewish, 10% other - and I’m only slightly kidding!</p>
<p>adcoms don’t like rejecting asians because of their superior kong fu skills. make sure you emphasize how dangerous you are and you should be ok.</p>
<p>Check mixed race instead. Way, way better odds.</p>
<p>And NU is only 17% Asian and 17% Jewish, which is low on BOTH for an elite school. Yale used to be something like 35% Jewish, for example.</p>
<p>I did check asian and the other race. As expected for Jews and Asians thing though. Long Island is chock full of both! haha</p>
<p>Actually depending on when “used to” is, Yale used to be 0% Jewish!</p>
<p>As in 10 years ago. It has gone down slightly (along with an increase in asian population and an increase in affirmative action).</p>
<p>
I think arbiter meant if you check mixed race without specifying which races you are exactly.</p>
<p>AH. Thanks for clarifying. Regardless, my essay clearly states my races.</p>
