<p>Okay, so I was just wondering...</p>
<p>Does being a minority help in any way in admission to UCB?</p>
<p>I know it probably constitutes a really tiny part of the admission criteria and what the admission decision is based on, but does the admission committee consider it, or not give it a second glance while making their decision?</p>
<p>If you are URM, then yeah. Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Indian, etc… it might work against you.</p>
<p>Yeah, if you’re black or hispanic then yes. If not, then you might get in as a spring admit if they kind of like u. ; ] or if ur borderline hispanic and black, then they’ll spring admit u.</p>
<p>Taiwanese is not a real ethnicityyyyy . . . unless you’re actually aboriginal.</p>
<p>Nothing like good ol’ affirmative action.</p>
<p>I actually don’t believe Berkeley takes race into consideration. </p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I500 using CC App</p>
<p>Yeah they do. My friend got a 1600 or something on her SATs. She’s hispanic.</p>
<p>I know an Asian who got in with like a 1600. She was just poor.</p>
<p>Yes, it does. mychances dot net tells all, even if they won’t face up to it.</p>

<p>in before “but that doesn’t mean they don’t do it anyways”</p>
<p>being a minority doesn’t matter nearly as much as what your background is. A poor white kid might get admitted over a rich non-white kid, even if the NWK has higher stats, purely because statics have shown that people who come from shiitter neighborhoods, tend to do worse in school, have less resources available, and struggle more than people who do not. That’s the whole point of a holistic review. non-URMs tend to be people whose parents went to college, and people who were able to provide more for their children than people who did not. </p>
<p>That being said, they still don’t take race/sex into account.</p>
