<p>Please chance me for USC's Marshall Business school! I so want to get in...but afraid my grades won't cut it. Plus, it doesn't exactly HELP being an Asian (Asians have to try ten times as hard to get into college as compared to other ethnicities). </p>
<p>Let me say it again: I'M ASIAN. And that is a HUGE HUGE HUGE part in my chances for college. Don't tell me otherwise, because I know it's true.</p>
