Some Asians' college strategy: Don't check 'Asian'

That's because many colleges make it harder to get in if you're an Asian. Asians, as a group, are outperforming other ethnic groups at test-taking. But colleges, while prizing academic excellence, also prize ethnic diversity. So...

Studies show that Asian-Americans... often need test scores hundreds of points higher than applicants from other ethnic groups to have an equal chance of admission.

When applying to top schools,
don't be among the fools
who admit their race persuasion
leans toward Asian.

Your prospects will be brighter
if you check the box that's whiter.
