<p>On the common app it says "If you wish to be identified with a particular ethnic group, please check all that apply"</p>
<p>I am Asian, and I love being Asian. But on college admissions, we all know that it isn't very helpful. But i am worried that if i do not put anything they will see my asian sounding name and throw me in the asian pile.</p>
<p>Will they do that if I do not check the little box?</p>
<p>if you're proud of being asian then do it(you better be)! Lol, but yeah i had the same issue. I decided to check it since im proud of it also. If they don't accept me just cuz im asian then i don't need to go to that school. Besides, im sure if ur good the whole being asian part isn't gonna be that bad. But it's up to u!</p>
