@willay, I understand what you’re saying but ya being such a small percentage of the population does seem like it would make me somewhat under represented. In addition, I don’t think race would play so much of a role that it would be more difficult for Asians to get in. Stanford seems to value each individual as their own distinct personality which is a lot more important than just the color of your skin. And why is it so hard for you to believe that an under represented minority would be a valedictorian and do other “exceptional stuff”. Despite saying it’s “rare” still very much implies that you don’t think it could be true along with everything else you say @ivybound456 is lying about.
