Indicating Race

<p>I know this is a huge issue because obviously if you're somebody like me, an Asian male, you're going to be branded with certain characteristics.</p>

<p>On the common application it states the race section is optional, but why do they need that if they can pretty much tell through your name? My last name is clearly Chinese. Just a thought.</p>

<p>And also, would adcomms be highly annoyed to see an asian kid running math clubs and business? what about badminton? I show a lot of dedication and I really do enjoy what a do (and I also debate and public speak). At least I don't play the piano! haha</p>
