Racial quota management ensures same exact percent of Asians are admitted every year? |
They always talk about black and hispanic but this quiet fact should be spoken out loud.
What would happen to this kid? Back to the base school? Would it be because of the stress of constantly having to catch up at TJ? |
What do you expect? Everybody knows what kind of students in TJ. Colleges are not stupid. When TJ changes its admission, college would also change admission based on TJ's change. It's a downward spiral. |
No, you've got that backwards, friend. College admissions at UVA and VT were declining under the old admissions. Changing the admissions needed to happen for that reason as well as the other reasons. |
If you aim at UVA and VT, do you need to go to TJ? |
For statistical convenience many different skin colors got put into one Asian American group: Asian American ethnic group consists of Chinese and Indian at 4.1 million each, Filipino (2.9 million), Vietnamese (1.8 million), Korean (1.5 million), Japanese (768,985), Pakistani (≈500,000), Hmong (305,525), Cambodian (259,307), Thai (204,150), Taiwanese (194,263), Laotian (192,929), Bangladeshi (185,177), Burmese (169,915), Nepalese (162,993), Indonesian (76,873), Sri Lankan (51,735), Bhutanese (26,534), Mongolian (21,199), Malaysian (20,758), and Okinawan (3,526) (Monte and Shin, 2022). |
That is a lie. There is not racial quota management. There are a handful of spots set aside for every MS if they have qualified candidates. But it's not a quota and it's not based on race. It's a race-blind admissions process. |
Going to TJ for any college is a BIG mistake. The admissions requirements for a TJ kid vs a kid at base school are wildly different. You stand a much better chance to be admitted to any college coming from your base school. That's the trade off of going to TJ. Just know that going in. |
Yes, but not if merely aiming to get admitted to UVA/VT non-competitive major. Look at it this way. Consider the likelihood of your HS student gaining admission to UVA competitive major. With 329 high schools in Virginia, even if the top 1 or 2 kids from each school apply to most sought-after Engineering/CS/premed programs, your base high HS kid's chance is about 1 in 100. Securing acceptance into UVA is relatively easy for non-competitive majors like liberal arts, social sciences, or business, regardless of the high school attended. Most people dont care to inquire further if the UVA admission was into a non-competitive or most sought after major. Contrast this with the top quarter TJ students, many of whom aim exclusively for highly competitive majors at UVA. Despite the intense competition, a substantial number of TJ kids, around 40 to 50 accept admission ( likely 200+ offers) into these competitive majors, not just any majors. Can you name another Virginia high school with comparable 40 to 50 acceptance success of getting students admitted or 200+ offered to UVA/VT's top-tier programs? For the average high school student, UVA is often a reach school. However, for top quarter TJ students, it's considered a match or even a safety, particularly in the context of competitive majors. Most top-quarter TJ students apply to numerous competitive colleges, reserving UVA/VT/UMD as their safety options. If student is not a top-quarter TJ student, then there is no guarantee they would have been in the top 5% in their base school, especially at Langley/Oakton/McLean, leaving their chances more or less the same with college admissions. |
It is race blind on it’s face but we all know biases creep up when certain names are listed on an app. |
Only a fool or a brainwashed equity minion would believe a process to be anything but race quota management when it yields a tightly controlled percent of Asians admitted before for four years before admissions change, and a lowered but again a tightly controlled percent after for four years. This is like saying a car maintains a narrow speed range, but a blind person is driving it. Merit Test based Admissions: Class of 2020, Asian American 71.34% Class of 2021, Asian American 74.90% Class of 2023, Asian American 72.87% Class of 2024, Asian American 73.05% Admissions changed to Essay based: Class of 2025, Asian American 54.36% Class of 2026, Asian American 59.82% Class of 2027, Asian American 61.64%. Class of 2028, Asian American 57.27% |
It’s not a “race quota” no matter how often you trying to repeat that bullcrap. The admissions team doesn’t know race or names. They added new seats to expand access to more middle schools. The number of Asian students has remained fairly level. |
Numbers dont lie. |
The correlation and causation is the demographic of the applicants. That is the "tightly controlled" quota. The demographic of admitted students is very similar to the demographic of applicants. |
They don’t. |
