I put my race (Chinese) on my app, but I think it might help to just leave it blank (?). Get this...Yale's acceptance rate is 13% but for Asian males it's 4%.

I'm waiting for the big legal test of affirmative action that will arise when an asian or white kid writes "black" or another diversity-favored race on the app, gets in, gets caught when he/she finally arrives at the college, gets in trouble/kicked out?, and sues the school.
