Is it harder to get into UVA if you’re Asian?

[Anonymous]

According to that data, it’s easier for Asian kids than white. What’s the category that’s cut off right above white? Looks like that’s the category you want to be in— much higher chance of getting in.

Not necessarily, the acceptance rate of races doesn’t show how qualified the average applicant from each race was.

Literally hundreds of statistic, evidence based and anecdotal articles across academic journals, newspaper editorials, magazines, op-ed’s from at least the last 2 decades on this. Nothing new. Some Asian kids omitting info that they are Asian because it helps increase their chances of admissions like the one here.

+1 the question is not about quantity, it’s about how hard it is to get in which speaks to quality of the applicant. This graph is irrelevant because it doesn’t show any actually admissions qualifications or merit scoring info.

I’m shocked by how few kids apply from in state. Guess kids are just aware of the racket of paying the application fee when only thing that matters are grades and scores.

Oh ok now. Assuming that the Asian kids have higher stats. May well be true but based on all we can see here a very racist comment.

For all you know the poster could have been implying there were more unqualified white kids applying. Looks like you’re the one with racial bias here.

Assuming white kids are more unqualified than Asians is racist.

It’s probably the one for people who don’t answer or pick “other”? If you look at the number vs the percentage, it’s a small number of people.

1 state vs 49. Of course there’s going to be a huge difference. And people here know how competitive it is.

Not really, it’s just statistics. There were a lot more white applicants than Asian applicants so it’s safe to assume there is more variation within the white applicant pool and thus more unqualified kids

Why affirmative action is good for Asian Americans, book chapter https://asianamericancivilrights.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/chapter4whyaffirmativeactionisgoodforasianamericans.pdf

Basically so called Asian tax on sat is research taken out of context. Even the author espenshade said it’s not smoking gun evidence of discrimination against Asians.

You’re conflating affirmative action with asian-bias in admissions. Two different things.
