I think they do accept you but is there really much point for you if you already go to a target?

Well it would be for my sophomore summer internship so I figured maybe I can get a better internship through SEO than the regular recruiting process?

 
Yea, SEO and INROADS accepts Asians. From what I know though INROADS accepts more Asians than SEO. Both are great programs to get a quality internship especially this year.

I'm not really familiar with INROADS, do they place college students in banking too?

 
Trojans11SEO tends to favor Chinese, Vietnamese, phillipine Asians than korean or japanese asians...

this seems true ... all the "Asians" (Indians included here) seem to be Chinese, I've only seen like one Vietnamese person maybe

How does SEO filter its applicants - is it by race, or socioeconomic status, or some combination of the two?

 

also, when you apply for SEO your required to submit a picture of yourself! hahaha i guess there's been too many white kids with the last name of gonzalez or kim's ... getting into SEO.

 

dumb question, is SEO just for current students..ie if i graduated a couple of years back and am middle class minority, would i be able to join?

 

Just to add an important piece of context--many of the Asians recruited for SEO are recruited for Hong Kong offices, which makes it more understandable why there % of Asians in the program is as high as it is, in spite of the fact that they are not really an under-represented minority on the Street.
