[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t work against my kid at all. Got into multiple top 10 SLACs and UVA/W&M. And stop fretting about things outside your control. If your kid works hard, gets good grades, and gets good recommendations for teachers, they will do just fine. [/quote] Asians are underrepresented at most SLACs. [/quote] So being half Asian didn’t work against my kid in his college admissions, which was the OPs question. [/quote] Doesn’t this depend on what box you check and what your name is? If the kid has a Caucasian last name (which is more than likely as white dad / Asian mom is more common than the reverse) and you check the white box, how would they know the kid is half Asian? If you check the Asian box or the multiracial box and have an Asian last name, then I imagine you would be treated as an Asian (ie disadvantaged in admissions).[/quote]
