I think Asians have a harder time on the West coast (Stanford, Berkeley, schools like that) than on the East coast, just because historically there’s a higher density of Asians in the West. I’m not sure how being native Australian affects your chances (probably not at all, I would assume it’s considered caucasian) but if you’re Filipino or Indonesian than that would certainly help you. Of course, this is all speculative because there’s different meters for international students at these schools anyway, so you’re probably already better off than an American student with the same grades as you.
