Should I lie about my ethncity?

<p>First off, "American" isn't an ethnicity. Secondly, is it really worth getting found out? Consider the moral aspects. Would it be right for you to get in as a result of your dishonesty and take the place of someone else?</p>

<p>It doesn't really matter anyway, since "White" and "Asian" are treated pretty much the same way. You could, however, just not put any race at all, though I doubt that gives you much of an advantage.</p>

<p>Should I say that I’m not Korean on the Common App and just say I’m American?</p>

<p>American is not an ethnicity on the common app. Lying is not really a good idea and may ruin your chances of going to your dream school.
Plus being Korean may give you an advantage since it is a minority.</p>
