[quote=Anonymous]Do not select Asian if you can help it.  There are quotas for Asians and Asians need to have higher stats (tests and grades) to make it in.  You have a larger group competing for a smaller set of spaces.

Essentially of all applicants with certain test scores, Asians had the lowest acceptance rate.  In fact they are penalized.  Asians need higher test scores and grades to get into schools than any other ethnic demographic:

This article is about acceptance to Medical School, but the issue affects undergraduate as well.  Basically, for the same MCAT scores, Asians are admitted into medical schools at significantly lower rates than other ethnic demographics.
