Asians considered a minority at MIT?

Thank you all!

If the average Asian apparently wins medals at all these competitions listed above (most of them which I never even heard of), I’m definitely not the avergae Asian, I guess. As a rising junior in an American School in Mexico City and as the daughter of a diplomat who’s attended eleven schools during the past sixteen years, I simply just want to pursue my interests in neuroscience at MIT. MIT sounds like a really cool place and all I want is to end up in an institution that will help me develop my passions in neuroscience. I hope I can offer something valuable to MIT or other schools not as an Asian, but as a passionate neuroscience student.

My question was not very smart - please excuse me.
