<p>Time to clear up some confusion...
Does being Asian India help your cause in getting into college...say HYP and the other ivies?
Or are there just too many of them damn genuises to not help at all...?</p>
<p>It doesn't help, nor does it really hurt you.</p>
<p>Can I have some background info on this?
I'm not questioning you but I just wanna know why you think so....</p>
<p>Asians do not get affirmative action. Being African-American, Hispanic, Native American would help. Being Asian, Jewish, Arab does not help.</p>
<p>Asians should get affirmative action!</p>
<p>It hurts. There are so many high scoring Indian applicants to top colleges. They are born here, go to boarding schools here and apply from India.</p>
