<p>I know schools tend to be anti-Asian, so if I don't report my race would it help?</p>
<p>My last name is Shin, so uhhh.. I guess it's pretty obvious.</p>
<p>Would the colleges get annoyed of my lack of willingness to give them information or something?</p>
<p>I dont blame you for not wanting to. Discrimination against Asians in the admissions process is appalling. Probably won't work though. Good luck.</p>
<p>You might as well be honest. Wild claims on CC aside, the number of students genuinely affected by AA is extremely small. Checking Asian, White, or Undisclosed won't hurt you; it just doesn't help.</p>
<p>It's obvious...you might as well be honest.</p>
<p>Then don't report it.</p>
<p>get plastic surgery day before interview and change your last name...</p>
<p>I doubt it'll have any significant impact on your app.</p>
<p>That question pops out in this forum alot. The answer is: If its obvious, then might as well put it on there. It won't help you much and could even hurt you depending on the school. Adcoms aren't so dumb. </p>
<p>Are the claims kind of alarming concerning AA here? Yes. </p>
<p>Are they true? Kind of. In a foggy yes manner. But not crazy.</p>
