To summarize: Accepted Asians have median SAT scores 60 points above accepted whites, 130 points above accepted Hispanics, and 240 points above accepted blacks. Accepted Asians have median GPAs .02 above accepted whites, .09 above accepted Hispanics, and .19 above accepted blacks.

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

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.

+1.

Yikes. So in admissions process who are Asian students compared against? Just other Asians or rest of applicant pool?

There is well documented

Is it me or does this sounds like one guy writing both sides of the dialog?

Regardless of percentages the academic performance requirements for Asians are higher than any other group by a significant margin

It has been well documented that Asians Americans have to pass a much high barrier to get into selective schools.

There was a lawsuit against Harvard University by an advocacy group representing Asians students. And Harvard had to disclose some of its admission policy against Asians,

"Harvard itself found a statistically significant penalty against Asian-American applicants in an internal investigation in 2013, but had never made the findings public or acted on them."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard

Plaintiffs and commentators have compared the treatment of Asians with the Jewish quota in place in the early 20th century, which used the allegedly “deficient” personalities of immigrant Jews as the reason for excluding non-legacy Jews in elite universities.

Of course. It’s harder to get into any decent college if you are Asian!

That is not the answer. You need to know the objective qualifications (e.g. SAT and GPA) of the accepted populations by group.

I think so too. Traditionally, Asians have wanted their children to attend TJ in order to attend UVA ( and maybe a couple other choice colleges) - but nothing is a given, nowadays. Nothing.

It is harder to get into almost every university if you're Asian. Gotta have better grades and test scores than everyone else.

Even that’s not good enough anymore really.

You can have great stats, but with ‘holistic’ admission practices they can still decide that you don’t ‘fit’ their criteria based on nothing concrete.
