The best advice for you, in my opinion, is not to worry about it. If Asians are ORM, it actually means you are being treated like whites, meaning fairly. Just be who you are. If your ECs and interests are very “nonAsian”, great. If not, then that is fine too.

You are who you are. A school will not look at you as “less” bc you check Asian, no matter how many posts you read about that.

If you are a first gen to attend college, it may actually help you. But forget all the “be less Asian” stuff. It’s just silly. If your parent story can be told in a way that tells who YOU, (nit them) are, then tell it. If not, then tell a story of who YOU are…

Chin up. You will do well, just be who you are.
