WORST...I mean WORST ASIAN category to be in when applying to Colleges?

Applying to College
1

Hey when you put down Asian and specify what asian you are? In I guess a list of 5 or 6 ethnicities, what do you think are the worst Asian backgrounds to be part of when applying to the Ivies, Duke, Northwestern…?

I.E.- chinese, korean, indian…? make a list of your top 5 worst.

2

<p>....what?</p>

<p>I think if we were able to actually figure out what you're trying to say, someone would be offended. No slamming people's ethnicities. That's not cool.</p>

3

<p>maybe you should say most competitive.</p>

4

<p>they are equally "horrible"</p>

5

<p>worst: Chinese (I'm one)
second worst: Indian
Thrid worst: tie between Korean and Japanese</p>

<p>yeah I dont mean to be offensive..I guess I mean competitive category but by using worst I suppose I was trying to simply emphasize the cutthroat competition and how bad it would feel to compete in such a racial category. No offense though. But anyways, other opinions?</p>

7

<p>You actually have to put down your ethnicity more specifically than "Asian?"</p>

8

<p>well a lot of colleges ask you to specify what part of asia.. but what do you think in your opinon would be the most competitive groups?</p>

9

<p>CHINESE.</p>

<p>i still managed to get in a university though :)</p>

10

<p>what about vietnamese?</p>

<p>One of the worst?</p>

11

<p>Vietnamese, its a hook, like a sympathetic hook after our war. </p>

<p>but what about indian?</p>

12

<p>east asian=bad
native american=good</p>

13

<p>Vietnamese is not a hook.</p>

14

<p>Vietnamese is a hook? Seriously. -.0</p>

15

<p>LOL! DukeDevil, are you trying to be funny or what? ;)</p>

16

<p>i'm chinese
the chan gives it away</p>

17

<p>Wait xD what happens if I'm a MIX asian. =[ What does that do to me? xP</p>

18

<p>Im not trying to be funny. I guess I am trying to be reassuring that hopefully my race Asian Indian does not fall in the top 1 or 2 most competitive races to apply as an Asian. I mean I know Chinese and Koreans dominate but I was wondering your htoughts on maybe a top 5 list...??????????</p>

<p>Sneakiie Vietnamese is not a hook. They are not considured an URM.</p>

20

<p>Actually the Vietnamese are considered URMs. The "overrepresented" asians consist of Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans. Any other asian nation is considered underrepresented such as Laos etc.</p>
