Are you seeing less diversity in elite college admissions at your school?

How is it you have your finger in the pulse? Where are you getting your data?

+1. It is too early to see race and ethnicity data. Elite colleges only released results one or two days ago, for pete's sake. Instagram isn't a data source.

That's what I was going to say. Kid at public magnet, and most Ivy admissions are white/Asian and have been at least as long as I've seen.

Yep. My kid is at a public magnet too. For as long as I can remember, it’s been the Asians going to ivys. There have only been a handful of whites going to ivys.

Not at the top schools they don't. (not-racist--they are quite over-represented already vs. the population-at-large)

Asian people want to think they are a minority (when it is convenient) - but they are not. Also, Asian people think that if certain "spots" (URM, legacy, etc.) disappear, then those spots will go to Asians, but that is not true. There is no reason why student population should not represent the U.S. population. Other countries don't bend the rules for their immigrants.

This. What if we went to China or wherever and demanded their top schools do the same for our children?

Your stupid is showing. These are Americans, first and foremost. Second of all if you re qualified to go to college than you have an argument to be admitted. Why can’t Asian american students, just bc of color of their skin, be admitted when they are absolutely qualified? What a raging racist you are.

+100. The anti-Asian racism always comes out on this forum. These types will never see us as American.

Why should race of college students mirror the total population when achievement does not? Just hold all students to the same achievement standards. Who cares about the total population.

Disagree. That would mean Jews are limited to 3% of the population. Are you really talking about going back to the bad old days? At most, it would make more sense that admissions would be in proportion to the qualified applications received.
