you need to bring in your guidance counselor into this discussion, to help your parents understand that LAC’s have in many cases more to offer UNDERGRADUATES than large U’s. they also need to understand that as more Asian students apply only to U’s,because of the USNews lemming mentality, the less an individual’s Asian’s chances of acceptance, simply because Big U’s are looking to build a diverse class of students. LAC’s on the other hand are often easier for Asian students to get into, again, because the offer “diversity” to what otherwise may be a homogeneous class.
