Are Jews considered minorities? My Jewish friend said it helped him..?

<p>Jews account for 1.2% of the US population. Technically, for them to be underrepresented at a university, less than 1.2% of the students would have to be Jewish.</p>

I think being Jewish is a disadvantage when applying to top schools, especially if you are from the northeast.

Schools used to have “Jewish quotas” to limit the number, but they’re gone now. Just like they didn’t let Catholics or Blacks in.</p>
