<p>just making sure...
Koreans are not URMs or minorities for that matter right?
So they or we should I say are not considered as minorities during admission process in say... Ivies?</p>
<p>Koreans are minorities, but they are over-represented (ORM), not under-represented (URM).</p>
<p>Actually Koreans and other Asians are URMs at some schools. Look up % Asian to see which. In general they will be leasser known LACs in the South and MW, schools where few Asians apply.</p>
<p>Yeah, Asians are less common at LAC's and not-as-prestigious schools, especially in the midwest and south, as suze said. However, at more prestigious schools in the same areas such as Duke, UNC-CH, UT-Austin, and Rice, Asians are still ORM's.</p>
<p>Many LACs, including prestigious ones, give preference to Asians and minorities because they're trying to diversify their campus. Bowdoin College in Maine is one example I can think of offhand. If you look at the College Board website you can find other LACs that have a low percentage of Asians, and you can probably assume that these colleges would give preference to Asians in their admission.</p>
<p>check Middlebury, Grinnell, Lafayette, Bucknell, Colby, Haverford, CT College</p>
<p>sorry... but what's LACs?</p>
<p>THANK you all!</p>
<p>131 posts and you don't know wehat an LAC is? Liberal arts college, generally smaller schools with a focus on undergrad.</p>
<p>is it harder to gain admission to a top grad school, say Harvard, if you come from a LAC?</p>
<p>oh
haha
sorry</p>
<p>thanks again</p>
<p>No, it is easier to get into Harvard grad if you graduate from an top brand LAC with decent grades. I know two ppl like that.</p>
