Take several seats PwC1. Pacific Islander as in Filipino/ Hawaiian probably not going to help. If you're Samoan, Tonga, Fiji those Polynesian countries, probably a better chance since they are vastly underrepresented especially in east coast MBA programs.

A lot of Filipinos that I've known, they consider themselves Pacific Islanders even though you are technically correct BA1. They correlate themselves more with that Islander & tropical background. Anyways, not judging, but I just put it out there that if he is Filipino, it will hurt him just as much as if he put Asian.

Ugh P1. Why?

It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.
