@Watang, the SAT score is particularly concerning. Please stop commenting when people are trying to give actual advice that is reasonable. If you don’t like them, don’t come here. As for OP, don’t lie about ethnicity. It will come back to haunt you. If you are Indian, that is what you should put. Odds are slim.
oh ok thanks for the advice. Just talked with multiple Cornell alumni said putting african american is fine. @watang ikr had doubts of posting here anyway but had a little hope for these trolling Mofos. I guess I was wrong.
