<p>@monydad: Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant that I know many Asian Americans who see attending Berkeley as a con because of its high asian population (especially within engineering majors). As you may know, Berkeley does not admit based on race. I think this leads to a relative homogeneity and more competition between students – especially people who grow up in the same culture as many Asian Americans do.</p>
<p>Not that it’s necessarily a bad thing, but I would like to try my best to stand out as an individual. I didn’t mean to offend anyone with my broad generalizations, but I am trying to be as blunt as possible for the sake of the thread. I’m really interested in hearing your opinions so thanks for your responses!</p>
<p>Sorry again! Hopefully i cleared up any misunderstanding!</p>
