How does the registrar know they are Chinese?

They do extensive research. You have to do an essay, They look up to see what activities you were involved in. They deem certain activities “Asian Activities” like being in an orchestra, Believe it or not!  we hired a tutor to help us through this process. She claimed that GPA , ACT scores, and financial backing mean nothing anymore when an Asian student is involved. My step daughter is full Chinese, born in the USA but went back to China until she was 3, then came back over. Her name obviously is a Chinese name. She is an example of an American born Chinese. There are also huge amounts of Chinese foreign students with fantastic ACT scores  and huge financial backing that get turned away at a very high percentage from Ivy League schools. Entry into Ivy League schools has now changed to “An average of the total picture” to offset the higher percentage of Asians and Indian students with outstanding academic achievements.

I mean I agree with some of it concerning being a well rounded student, but in my opinion they have taken it way too far.
