STEREOTYPICAL asians are over-represented and have to really step up to the plate. As you’re not a stereotypical asian you don’t have to worry about that working against you…

I think I must be missing something because I dont get this statement. How does not having as good scores as most asians be an advantage? That only makes you “unique” in the sense that you are of the lower range of the asian applicant pool and hence lower your chances at admissions.
