<p>Does ethnicity affect my chances for getting accepted into a college? I've been worried because Cambodian are classified as under "Asian" which is a well represented group. There aren't many Cambodian-Americans (probably one of the smallest minority groups) and most of us are poor and when are parents were brought to the states they were settled in usually "ghetto areas". So if I'm applying for a college and I say I'm Asian do you think it would affect my chances?</p>
<p>Depends on the college. Villanova is a school where it actually helps (and a couple of other Christian colleges), the UCs are race-blind…</p>
