<p>Hi!I'm a korean(well,techincally speaking).My race is korean,but my nationality is New Zealander and I'm a singapore PR and i am currently living in China. well,I'm just curious about how many koreans get into harvard and yale college.By the way,Any koreans here???</p>
<p>statistically, i don’t think anybody’s got the exact numbers (not sure if schools release these figures etc, so i could be wrong) but being asian itself is a huge disadvantage because of the sheer number of applicants from china/india plus the limited number of spots for international students.</p>
<p>If you are willing to pay for your educational costs, being international is no way a big problem. And, no college limits the seats for international students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>don’t post crap. almost every college -especially the top schools- limit the number of international student that they can admit each year. its usually 7-8%, but some schools do admit more.</p>
<p>^^^^ Absolutely. No caps for internationals – where do you come up with that stuff???</p>
<p>Let me clarify: I agree 100% with depr and disagree 100% with confidential.</p>
<ol>
<li>1 at Yale, 1 at Harvard. :D</li>
</ol>
<p>Truth is, check the school databases if you have access.</p>
<p>Agree that top colleges have a quota for internationals, and for that matter, every group. Koreans are among the most represented internationals at top US colleges.</p>
<p>Koreans, Chinese and Indians have it the hardest. </p>
<p>We are the most represented, but the competition is fierce. Fierce.</p>
<p>International students have greater chance if they can pay the cost. Harvard as well as Princeton is need blind for international so perhaps paying ability most probably has but little effect. But in most of the LACs or even other ivies, the bucks matters. </p>
<p>Some like Worchester Polytenchnic explicitly mentions $14000 or Lawrence - $18000. Many students most probably are rejected in these colleges on the ground that they have large amount of need that cannot be met.</p>
<p>Oh great…I cant believe everything is harder just because I’m a Korean!This is so unfair!I’m gonna change this when I become a lawyer.</p>
<p>How would a lawyer be able to help you with that?</p>
<p>I read a news article that as of like 2007 or 2008, there were about 300 koreans.
It means they get about 40-50 koreans each year. However, of course it is much harder for international students to get in.</p>
<p>But I don’t think race would take a role here…</p>
<p>Here are the data for Harvard:
<a href=“http://www.hio.harvard.edu/abouthio/statistics/pdf/StatsStudentsSchoolCountryFY11.pdf[/url]”>http://www.hio.harvard.edu/abouthio/statistics/pdf/StatsStudentsSchoolCountryFY11.pdf</a>
Yale should also have them available somewhere on their website.</p>
<p>^
keep in mind that the stat may also include graduate students!</p>
<p>‘Korean’ is not a race: it referst to an ethnic group, a member of the korean ethnic group, or abbreviated nationality; i.e., ‘south korean’, or ‘north korean’. While 98% of residents in South Korea, and even more in North Korea, are racially East Asian, it’s fallacious to claim Korean as a race when a large number of Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese citizens are also East Asian. Blame your misunderstanding on 단일민족국가 사상. </p>
<p>“harder” is not meaningful on a case-by-case basis. It is meaningful overall.</p>
<p>And if you are a New Zealand citizen, you are from Oceania. Whites from Africa list African.</p>
<p>
If you are concerned about discriminaton, you don’t have to disclose your race on your college application. Just check the “do not wish to disclose” box.</p>
<p>
Bs, not when asked about their **race. </p>
<p>this thread is almost 4 years old…</p>
<p>Korean is NOT a race, what the heaven? </p>
<p>Plus, you being lawyer in the future won’t change a bit of the system. </p>
