Okay so I am an Asian-American, and I just read a positive article about the UC boards being race-blind. Which is great, for me, right?
Well…then I read a disturbing article about how being Asian-American puts me at a major disadvantage. And I know this is partially true because of the really high standards expected of all Asians in general.
I happened to have put that I was Asian-American in a personal statement in my UC application. With the huge amount of Asians in the UC demographics, do you think they will disregard my application? I don’t have stellar, perfect 2400 SAT scores or anything, but they’re pretty decent and up to all UC standards. I just wanted to know if being Asian-American (oh, and out of state!) would be horrific, especially when the admissions are race-blind and I stupidly added that I was Asian-American. Haha.
Okay. Just let me know, please.
