<p>do Indians (south asians) get any sort of preference in the admissions process?</p>
<p>They don’t get preference, they get deference.</p>
<p>Wait, that didn’t make sense…</p>
<p>No, but you’re right aristotle. They are over-represented minorities (ORM?). They get a “boost down.”</p>
<p>It depends on the school. ALL groups receive benefits from AA; it just depends on the institution.</p>
<p>there are probably some LACs that consider Indians URMs…but at all the top Us they are ORMs.</p>
<p>depends on the school and major I think</p>
