ppl not include ethnicity?

<p>For those who are Over represented, do you just not include your ethnicity? I know ethnicity plays a part in the college app so do you think its wise to not include it so adcoms would assume you're not overly represented?</p>

<p>yeah, but unless you're lucky your name probably gives it away anyway</p>

<p>and some of us have extracurriculars related to our ethnicities</p>

<p>"and some of us have extracurriculars related to our ethnicities"</p>

<p>wow...****ing funny</p>

<p>If that's sarcasm, what he means is you're not fooling anyone into thinking you're not Indian if you're in Saffron Club. Etc.</p>

<p>If you're Asian and you have a name like Smith, you might want to consider leaving it blank. Otherwise, just fill it in.</p>

<p>you can always choose "prefer not to disclose"</p>

<p>i asked "do colleges look at ethnicity besides race?" on CC, and from what i remember most people said "no, not really". so, is it important ?</p>
