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

<p>it really depends… for example when me and my friends were applying straight out of highschool… all of us were applying to penn, cornell, harvard, and we were all just another jewish boy from nyc… they get tons of those… but if i applied to emory, or vandy, i would be a way more diverse and interesting applicant… theres an extremely large jewish population in the north east… very little in the midwest and the south…</p>
