I knew it! I had near-perfect SAT scores and a very high GPA, but I was rejected by many schools that accepted my friends with lower scores. Now it makes perfect sense. Except I'm white and my high school classmates were Asian and Indian. I'll never understand the admissions process.
- Garbage 11y agoAren't Indians Asians?
- cbd1984 11y ago> Aren't Indians Asians? Depends on what variety of English you speak whether the term Asian normally includes Indians or not. For Brits, Asian primarily means "From the Indian Subcontinent" which includes Pakistan for them, IIRC. For Americans, Asian primarily means "From East Asia" which is China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Of course, in an academic context, Asian means "Anyone from the Asian Continent" which includes some but not all Russians, all South Asians, all East Asians, all Central Asians, all Middle Easterners (except Egyptians), and whoever else depending on how certain lines get drawn.
- lnkmails 11y agoThis confuses the hell out of me as an Indian living in America. Mostly it's me wondering if I am included in the stereotype or not. Otherwise I don't really care.
