<p>Been a long time lurker here.</p>
<p>I realized recently that I wrongfully interpreted the instructions given in the ethnicity box (ie. Please add more specific information where relevant (such as tribal affiliation or country of origin).</p>
<p>I put "Southeast Asian - Malaysian". I'm actually a Malaysian-born Chinese though.</p>
<p>I know this is a stupid mistake on my part. The burning question is: should I inform the admissions office to rectify this?</p>
<p>it’s senior slump, what the hell are you worrying about minutia for, won’t make an iota of a difference.</p>
<p>Yes, you should. Be sure to send them your genealogy chart going back at least 4 generations, too.</p>
<p>its hard to tell if that last comment was meant to be sarcastic or not because the OP seems pretty sincere</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>if you’re too stupid to realize that this is sarcasm then you shouldn’t be too hopeful about getting into columbia.</p>
<p>I second Shraf. :)</p>
<p>no point in updating, they’ve probably already used your ssn to track down your ethnicity, realized you misrepresented yourself and revoked your application</p>
<p>^I take it that this post is also a sarcasm (unless you didn’t know that int’ls don’t have SSN)</p>
<p>So I guess it’s a no then?</p>
<p>you guessed right</p>

<p>Don’t be a bunch of smartasses. It isn’t a big deal at all, but if it makes you sleep better at night, go ahead and give them a call and tell them about the mistake.</p>
<p>^in all honesty, i’d say don’t do that, you’ll just pss them off, because it’s inconsequential, in no uncertain terms: don’t pss them off, just go out and party like you’re supposed to.</p>
<p>

<p>Then OP would have sleepless nights worrying about whether he was stupid for wasting the adcoms’ time by calling about this. No win situation.</p>
<p>this thread is hilarious</p>
<p>lol alright alright, I get the point. thanks.</p>
