<p>Ok I wasn't sure where to ask this but I'm a Sri Lankan male applying to college this year. Do you think being Sri Lankan would help or hinder my applications? I know being african american, hispanic, and native american improves your chances so I was wondering if being sri lankan did the same because it's a minority.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Being of such a small minority (Sri Lankan) should essentially benefit you more than if you were apart of a more popular minority (hispanic, african, etc).</p>
<p>The only group I don’t think you beat out is Native Americans, because colleges just seem to love them.</p>
<p>Yea, but we could be considered part of the Indian sub continent group and actually be discriminated against, since they have too many Indians in medicine.</p>
<p>Bump for justice</p>
