<p>Well its 100% better if your asian if everyone is given a username/number instead of the real name John Chung/ Kim/ Lee/ Chow etc. I’d take number instead of last name any day.</p>
<p>the only thing I think about this is that Penn needs to come up with its own studies instead of just writing about other schools’.</p>
<p>the problem grows worse if you’re an international applicant. the level of competition here is just crazy, beyond the realm of normality</p>
<p>^I feel you!and especially when you are from east Asia …</p>
<p>^A lot of internationals here came from an international high school in Malaysia…</p>
<p>^Ok,fair enough… I heard there’re also 3 other international high schools in Korea,in Singapore and in HK,respectively, that are really competitive… exporting large number of students to ivies</p>
<p>Korea and HK are “east” easia too. Unless you meant China, in which case, you should’ve just said China.</p>
<p>People who lie about being Native American need to throw themselves down staircases, they’re pathetic. 50 years ago, Native Americans were given hell for being Native American, and now suddenly everyone wants to lie about being one so that they have a slighter higher chance of attending a mildly better university? That’s shameful, and if I ever hear of any of my peers doing so I will run to their house and hit them over the head with a tomahawk (and then call the admissions offices of any schools they applied to).</p>
