<p>How big a part does race influence the admissions like if you are an under represented minority?</p>
<p>I don’t think it would really matter for you. Except all the Asians probably have a huge competiton to get in.</p>
<p>Im not asian</p>
<p>Well, all I can say is that it just depends because many schools want diversity.

<p>does that mean i have a higer chance of acceptance? Like how big a part does that play?</p>
<p>Nooo, I’m asian D:</p>
<p>unfortunately,i am a typical asian…</p>
<p>Well, if your not from asia you probably have small but higher chance of acceptance (schools tend to have Alot of asians) , but I can never be sure. Where are you from?</p>
<p>‘asian’ is too broad of a term… if you’re from korea or china, it’s not going to help you, if you’re from… um, kazakhstan or nepal, hurrah!</p>
<p>To be honest don’t focus on ethnicity because when it comes down to it they want the best students. But yes it may bump you up a bit.</p>
<p>^ but if you compare (just using examples) an athletic recruit from zimbabwe to a… violinist from korea, who do you think will <em>PROBABLY</em> be the better student? URM/hooks have a pretty nice edge…</p>
<p>I actually can’t find an answer for that question. Who ** would ** be the better applicant?</p>
<p>What is a URM hook and i am african</p>
<p>URM = underrepresented minority</p>
<p>if you’re from africa, i’m pretty sure you qualify… yay affirmative action ~</p>
