No, they will be led by Indian Americans. Look at the Silicon Valley.

Indians are classified as Asians.

Only 2% of Latino students score over 700 in math SAT, so you simply should not expect to see a lot of them at MIT.

If you're going by over 700 SAT math, MIT should be about
47% Asian
43% White
3% Black
7% Hispanic

Actual class of 2027 is not too far off from that
47% Asian
37% White
5% Black
11% Hispanic

This follows what we are seeing on tours. We toured a dozen top20 schools this summer and the tour groups were 75-95% Asian and South Asian.

My kid (mixed race Asian) was completely turned off and we're left wondering what to do. She wants diversity in college.

Let's be honest, your kid is not desiring "diversity" since Howard is considered "diverse" university. Your kid sounds anti-Asian.

Not surprising since many in our society are brainwashed to become anti-Asian w/o even them becoming aware. Wake up people.

I can’t believe I need to point this out to an adult. Howard is not considered diverse. That’s the feature, not a bug. That’s why students attend - to be surrounded by black excellence. It fulfills the same mission it always has - to educate black students. That is why it is called an HBCU. Students go there for the unique support offered to black students where they are in a majority environment. So try harder with your anti-Asian argument. Start by using facts.

Isn’t a school that has strict SAT/ACT requirements closer to it than most colleges?

Many top schools have that. MIT still is heavily invested in extracurriculars and opinion-based metrics that have little to do with being the best student.

The white kid with the Chilean grandfather no longer feels the need to check the box

Ding, ding, ding.

There are your missing Hispanics. If you go to private school in DC you know about one hundred of these kids. The grandmother was from Argentina but kid's name is Mary Jones and they live in a $4 million dollar home.
These kids are no longer getting the Hispanic bump or at least not with as much ease.

Guilty.

They had the numbers and the ECs and were as qualified as any fencing recruit or child of a PE partner.

The colleges make the rules. You roll with what is and adapt accordingly. It was a pleasant surprise that an Argentinean grandparent was good enough for a National Hispanic Recognition Award.

Top 20s for both of them.

Pretty sure it was the birthplace of the grandmother that made the difference. I mean they're awesome kids regardless, but I do think that little Hispanic box on the apps made the difference.

Like being black for the past 30 years. It's not some kid from Dunbar or Anacostia that's getting the spots at Princeton and MIT.

It's GDS and Sidwell and so on. Rich, privileged kids.

Just a convoluted way of saying that your underprivileged POC aren't really. The blacks and hispanics going to Harvard and Yale aren't coming from the barrio or the inner-city.

I don't know why you're bringing up an HBCU. What my kid wants is a university that is multi cultural. black/white/Hispanic/Asian/mixed race. If you can't understand this I don't know what to say. If this makes her racist then so be it.

As a PP says, is easy to Google the demographics of schools. None are 95% Asian wtf.

I never knew these statistics, intresting that Asian score and admission has total correlation but not for other races,

I have two white/Asian kids. One's friend group is super diverse; the other is mostly Asian.

Lots of Asian Americans still have a certain subculture, good or bad. Not everyone wants that same culture.

Like I said, Asians are to be condemned for studying hard and working hard but blacks are to be worshiped for being just being "black".

I am curious. Are you Asian?

I’m confused. Everything is self reported. I can be black to the college board if I say so.

MIT required scores

My white mid did not report race anywhere. Not on common app box or separate college section. Left it blank. All the kids were advised to leave it blank at our school,

They don’t have the “other, non-specified” category, do they? I didn’t open link.

My kid was admitted to a few Ivies, Hopkins, T10/20s. He will not be in the “white” category since he never checked his race. I suppose whites all stayed stable or dropped for this rule of reason too.

You'll need some copies of birth certificates and passports eventually.
