[quote=Anonymous]SLACs have fewer Asian-Americans because fewer of us apply to them. When my DC was applying, her counselor put many/most SLACs on her safety list because Asian-Americans are considered URM at them. The bulk of Asian-American college goers are 1st or 2nd gen immigrants and don't know much about American higher ed beyond the name brand schools. Most are also aspiring engineers and programmers who don't realize SLACs how much SLACs have to offer them. I mentor a couple Chinese-American high schoolers and I've had to convince their parents that there are many more options besides MIT or NVCC. But, they are almost completely driven by what they read in the Chinese language newspapers because of their own limited backgrounds.[/quote]
