Is putting other as your race on an MBA application a disadvantage? I don’t identify with any other options on the given list of races.

C1 sorry to burst your bubble, but it is an important factor for both admissions and recruiting.

My bank has clear unwritten targets about getting more people of x group, thus the bar during interviews is naturally lower for group x.

This doesn't mean that group x is any better or worse, but they just have an inherent advantage.

And to be fair, this is an industry that leaves out 95% of the college population because they only recruit and pull from 20 schools.

Again, for everyone on FB, race plays a much lower role than people would like to think on your application.

Out of all the things to worry about on an application, race is the one that matters least, and the one you can’t change.

Put what you feel best represents you, in an accurate light.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
