<p>How much does being biracial (ie: Filipino/Venezuelan) help in applying towards schools such as Duke, Cornell, NYU, etc. Do these factor into their considerations at all?</p>
<p>stop trying to get something for nothing...
Yes, you get advantage...for stupid, unethical and racist reasons</p>
<p>Oh, I'm qualified academically too, I was just wondering how it factored in and how much.</p>
<p>yes it does... princeton study shows hispanics get 180 point bump, blacks get 230, native american 300,
being asian = -50 being white = 0</p>
<p>So does that mean I get a 130 point bump, Hispanic - Asian? I obviously don't mean literally, but I'm guessing that would be the rough formula.</p>
<p>this is based on the old 1600 scale, so more for the 2400 scale</p>
<p>thanks for the info</p>
<p>Do Indians (Gandhi, not Sitting Bull) get any benefit or disadvantage from affirmative action? Are we counted in the Asian category?</p>
<p>I would assume Indian would count as part of the Asian category. So that could have a negative impact.</p>
