it depends really. If they consider all south asians the same, then diversity wont really factor in because of the sheer number of applicants, but if bangladeshis are considered separately then Iā€™d say u have a better chance because the number of applicants from there are generally low

these are my stats (I also graduated a year early)
I am a white transgender male btw

LMFAOOO please

ur considered american then bro not bengali

i think if u talked about it in the essays and talked about impact it would help but asain reduces chances overall

we all must be going insane cause we really getting into the nitty gritty stuff now

I thought demographics would be by race not ethnicity. Also technically I am a Bengali-American then no?

if ur asain, indian or white ur worse off from waitlist

this is pure speculation based of the college conc btw

iā€™m white and got off so donā€™t stress too much
