<p>Yeah I’m not gonna need FA.</p>
<p>
I disagree. Asian´s names are dead give aways.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, just wow! When you come to America, please take an “introduction to ethnic studies” course so your academical mind opened a little deeper and wider. Racial issue in America is not a simple issue as you wish</p>
<p>
I wouldn’t be so sure. For example the last name “Lee” could be Asian and could be Caucasian.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s not how the survey works, though. If you refuse to disclose your ethnicity on your application, it will be considered unknown for statistical purposes, regardless of your name. You will also be entered into the unknown applicant pool–again, regardless of your name. College officials are expressly forbidden from trying to obtain information about a candidate’s ethnicity/veteran status/etc. if he or she has refused to disclose it.</p>
<p>The only reason a person would choose not to disclose his/her ethnicity is if it is not obvious. Because most Asians´names are such dead give aways, I would suspect most Asians would disclose their ethnicity.
Could you show me where it is written that they are forbidden in obtaining (or guessing) an applicant´s ethnicity? A college could use race as a criteria for admission, there are not that many organizations which could do that.</p>
<p>Here’s [UCLA’s Commencement 2011, Letters & Sciences](<a href=“UCLA College of Letters & Science Commencement 2011 - YouTube”>UCLA College of Letters & Science Commencement 2011 - YouTube). Students walking into Drake Stadium, watch from 4:00+ to the 31:00 mark, maybe around 7:00 mark, you can see persons’ ethnicities – mutli-ethnic, no one group dominating. I’m sure the engineering school is majority Asian.</p>
<p>Here’s Stanford’s free-spritied [Commencement 2009](<a href=“2009 Stanford University Commencement - YouTube”>2009 Stanford University Commencement - YouTube), highly multi-ethnic also, although I didn’t need to see some guys in speedos.</p>
<p>Most California u’s are pretty racially diverse.</p>
<p>What you really want is an international, cosmopolitan feel on a campus.</p>
<p>Berkeley
UCLA
Texas
Georgetown
George Washington U
Miami
Harvard
MIT
Columbia
Penn
NYU</p>
<p>Not sure which LAC would best accomploish that… maybe Pomona.</p>
<p>Also wanted to note the speakers:</p>
<p>Aaron Williams of the Peace Corps at UCLA’s, commences at 1:16:15, great speech.</p>
<p>Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy at Stanford, 56:00:00.</p>
<p>You could probably check out how racially diverse u’s are if they broadcast their graduation ceremonies.</p>
<p>Uc irvine has SO many Asians :]</p>
<p>^ well, that’s true. the most of any UC. I believe it is 53% - 55%. Fairly confident in saying it is the only University outside of Asia proper with a majority (not simply a plurality) of Asian students. UC San Diego also hovers around 50% - 52%</p>
<p>UC Irvine: University of Chinese Immigrants</p>
<p>^ well, that’s a helpful comment.</p>
<p>As helpful as some posts on this thread.</p>
<p>Boston University and Tufts?</p>
<p>I have no advice to give on this matter but can someone tell me what an “FOB” is? I think I may be the only one not to know. Thanks.</p>
<p>FOB = recent immigrant, or “fresh off the boat”</p>
<p>UCI: University of Caucasian Isolation
UCLA: yoU C Lots of Asians / University of Caucasians Lost among Asians
UCSC: University Chinese Second Choice
UCR: University of Chinese Rejects
Just some more that I heard, adding on to oldfort.</p>
<p>Here’s a five-minute youtube showing [UCSB’s Commencement Walk](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube) from 2008.</p>
<p>The stereotypical surfer look doesn’t apply, even though this video isn’t necessarily representative of the student body as a whole. Surfers aren’t typically real academically oriented, for one.</p>
<p>UCSB doesn’t have a big Asian population but it has a large Latino one, ~ 20% or slightly more.</p>
