Luckily, I don’t have to change my kids’ last name. There’s no way anyone can tell they’re Asian by their names.

I don’t think this strategy works. I remember reading stories in the press that elite schools (e.g. Harvard) also require the applicants to go through face to face interview with one of their alumni. There were allegations that these interviewers have a code to tell the admissions committee that the applicant belongs to such and such race if that is not clear from the file itself! If UC schools do not have this system yet, they will surely have it in place as more and more people will try to game the system! LOL!!![/quote]

Ivy league schools from my experience do face to face interviews. That’s where saying your dad/mom went there and having them a benefactor helps.

UC’s schools, if I recall never have face to face interviews (at least not when I did it).

Worse comes to worse, I’ll have my kid wear a wig.
