He is Korean

It doesn't necessarily hurt you, but it doesn't help.

Re: High School Seniors, where are you applying?

I'm Korean, but it's definitely better than being Chinese or Indian..
Not as (many) Koreans live in the US compared to both so.. :P

The vast # of Asians (usually 15%-25% of most private schools) make it very disadvantageous for me at a lot of schools like Stanford, MIT, maybe HYP..

It's better to be first-gen white ^ like Marcus or some really, really, underrepresented minority like Native American or a mix of Hispanic / Black.

-.-

I'm constantly reminded that I only have a slight chance of getting into the several Ivies to which I'm applying thanks to my awesome test scores and decent GPA. Couple extracurriculars, but no outstanding awards/leadership roles = failure.

I want to be an actuary/also major in math or stats. Someone should tell me where to apply. x.x

From what I've seen in this thread I'm pretty sure I have no chance at getting into Wharton/Ivies. Lmfao.

This thread makes me feel dumb.

My highschool GPA was like 3.0, if that. I slacked off too much.

My SAT scores in math were like 35th percentile, English 99's across the board. I didn't even attempt to apply for a college, went on to community college for a few months and took all the fun classes and never went back.
