<p>How much does being an immigrant help...?</p>

2

<p>can i get a bump you?</p>

3

<p>depends where from and where too and what college</p>

<p>a korean immigrant to california doesnt help you at ivies or UCs, and a hisanic immigrant to Texas doesnt help you at UT (maybe at ivies)</p>

<p>but a hipanic immigrant to idaho would help the person alot</p>

4

<p>How about an indian immigrant?
edit: who's really broke</p>

5

<p>probably not, epecially not if your in california</p>

6

<p>Can i get some REAL OPINIONS/FACTS on this?</p>

7

<p>i doubt it will help significantly...how long ago did you move?</p>

8

<p>well when i apply it'll be 4 years</p>

<p>There are just too many people in your situation, especially Asians, for it to help.</p>

10

<p>If you're Asian/Indian/Hispanic, then no. Seriously, like ... over 50% of California is hispanic, and there is no lack of Asians or Indians either.</p>

<p>If you're from a more unusual country like Bosnia, or Niger, maybe. But it depends on if/how you spin it in your essays. You have to make it interesting.</p>
