<p>Though Asians get absolutely no preferential treatment for their race at Ivies/Stanford/MIT/other phenomenal schools, I think they are still included in the total minority % of the school.</p>
<p>Not the entire middle east is considered Asian. In the cenus, people from the country Lebanon are considered white.</p>
<p>Anyway, Asians just have a strong pool. If you look at race percentages in a school, despite being unfavored in the college application, they still make up the majority of tue school.</p>
<p>Are Arab-Americans considered URMs? My parents immigrated from Iraq and I want to know if that gives me minority status and helps me, lol.</p>
