<p>Anyone else here Half Asian, Half Caucasian?</p>

<p>How will this affect college apps? Benefit or detriment?</p>

2

<p>Me.
I don’t think it’ll help at all, it’ll probably will hurt us in admissions.</p>

3

<p>neither help nor hurt.</p>

4

<p>I am. Half Korean, Half Caucasian (mix of Irish, German, English). But I was born and lived a while in Korea, so they’ll see that</p>

<p>Playing the race card is so last century. Colleges are more interested in what’s under the skin.</p>

6

<p>I probably could indicate “White” only, since my last name is white, but they’ll see that my mom went to college in China anyways. So I guess it’s pointless trying to hide it.</p>

<p>Asians don’t really get an increased percent into college admissions anymore. Since we’re all over achievers, they want to choose best among the best. So race is soooo last century.</p>

<p>There are still some colleges that use AA.</p>
