<p>How will my background and residency will affect my chances at selective college admissions??
I live in Utah (no, not mormon lol!) and both my parents are immigrants to the US.
My dad is from Switzerland.
My mother is from Indonesia.
I look mixed.<br>
How much will this help? I am applying mainly to the LAC's in the Northeast.</p>
<p>To be honest, I believe it’ll help your chances because you’re probably considered a minority. A lot of scholarships are out there for minorities as well. If it doesn’t help your chances it definitely won’t hurt them.</p>
