<p>On the application, where it asks for your ethnicity, should I put South Indian or Asian, if I am an Indian American?
Would it have any impact on their decision making?
If so, how much?</p>
<p>There is a category for: Asian, inclu. Indian Subcontinent (Country…)</p>
<p>You would mark that and state India for Country. The Citizenship question will indicate that you are an Indian-American rather than an International applicant from India.</p>
<p>You will not be considered a URM for admissions purposes.</p>
