Does race matter in college apps?

<p>Sorry to be asking about race, but I recently made a mistake on my app and just wanted to ask.
I will be applying to other pharmacy programs at schools, will race matter? I am Asian by the way. Will I be rejected for someone who is Hispanic or another race who has lower stats? I mean I am not a stereotypical asian. I am not that bright, but I still qualify as Asian.</p>

<p>could I just put other if I think it is going to affect my chances or don't want to report.</p>

I can't answer your question, but I will say that this is so unintentionally funny that I literally fell out of my chair. And I am SO showing this to my Asian friends tomorrow.</p>

<p>race could matter as some schools have quotas they need to fill. You can not just put other if you do not want to report. If you do this they will assume that you are from a race that is not listed and thats not true. (my brother put other instaed of hispanic because he didn't want to report on an application. they thought it meant he was native american or something and it caused him quite a few problems) </p>
