You… you… you’re so like me. Varsity sports, no research, quit piano right before 9th grade, a C+ in sophomore year, albeit mine was in French, As to B+s in all other classes. and I’d TOTALLY consider myself a stereotypical asian, minus the glasses.

Whether you consider yourself stereotypical or not though, colleges aren’t looking for traits that will make you similar to everyone else anyway. They’re looking for a person with qualities that will distinguish them at the college. So your un-asian-ness doesn’t hurt at all. On the other hand, your stats in general just aren’t for Ivy-caliber schools.
