statistically, i don't think anybody's got the exact numbers (not sure if schools release these figures etc, so i could be wrong) but being asian itself is a huge disadvantage because of the sheer number of applicants from china/india plus the limited number of spots for international students.

If you are willing to pay for your educational costs, being international is no way a big problem. And, no college limits the seats for international students.

2. 1 at Yale, 1 at Harvard. 
Truth is, check the school databases if you have access.

Agree that top colleges have a quota for internationals, and for that matter, every group. Koreans are among the most represented internationals at top US colleges.

Koreans, Chinese and Indians have it the hardest.
We are the most represented, but the competition is fierce. Fierce.

International students have greater chance if they can pay the cost. Harvard as well as Princeton is need blind for international so perhaps paying ability most probably has but little effect. But in most of the LACs or even other ivies, the bucks matters.
Some like Worchester Polytenchnic explicitly mentions $14000 or Lawrence - $18000. Many students most probably are rejected in these colleges on the ground that they have large amount of need that cannot be met.

I read a news article that as of like 2007 or 2008, there were about 300 koreans.
It means they get about 40-50 koreans each year. However, of course it is much harder for international students to get in.
But I don't think race would take a role here..
