<p>For the top schools, adcom could care less about name. It’s all computerized, check the box about race or decline, btw it really doesn’t matter one way or the other. If you standout, you will stand out regardless of name or race. BTW the statistics of admissions prove that being Asian is favored by adcom, not discriminated. Only in backstreet gossip is it believed that the good Asian candidate will face discrimination. I am Hispanic and got into a pretty good school. A couple Asian candidates, at my school, did not get into the same school, and of course the whispers started. But the truth is they needed to take the SAT several times to match my one time SAT. Also their SAT II were not likely as good. I know by ranking their GPA wasn’t as high as mine. Also they had no verifiable EC’s. Lastly, I’m taller and better looking :)</p>
