<p>I know being asian sucks when you're applying to college.
I'm paki/irani. is that looked upon being the same as chinese or indian?</p>
<p>Woooot another Irooni!</p>
<p>My counselor told me to fill in Caucasian when I asked her this same question. Though I suppose you could put "Other: Persian/Pakistani", it might not be much benefit because we're not considered underrepresented in universities (relative to our percentage of the country's population, at least).</p>
<p>It is the same, as my teacher puts it for all intents and purposes Asian to colleges means "white", because such a high percentage of asians go to college that we're not considered a minority in colleges . If you notice some scholarships that say for minorities in fine print say only for latinos, blacks, Native Americans etc., but no asians.</p>
