Have you or your student interacted or met any AOs that are Asian?

but 1 or 2 AOs here or there is definitely not many.

most AOs are white. majority are female. these are just facts. food for thought as PP noted.

Your anecdotes are not data. They are not facts. Your anecdotes do not coincide with my anecdotes about the composition/diversity of elite college AOs.

+1 Are people just trolling, or are they honestly that stupid to think that their limited experiences represent the totality of what is out there?

It really didn’t take long for you to come up with a lousy excuse like this?🤣
No, most Asians don’t live in California although California may have the highest concentration of Asians.
You know racism is real when you see people jump out immediately to defend racism with lousy excuses.

Reading comprehension, dumbass.

[b]Asian Americans? Yes most of them DO live in California.

You’re wrong. California has less Asians than the rest of the U.S. it actually scares the shit out of me to think about the possibility that a dumbass like you could graduate from a high school or even worse, get into an ivy league school through BS essays, and then subsequently run this country into ground.

Do you know the difference between Asians and Asian Americans ?

If not, get educated, then do a Google or AI prompt.

A dumbass is a NPC like you arguing about a random topic on an anonymous forum.

There are at least two other Asian AOs, as well as at least one who is Black and two who are Latino/a. A quick glance at the school website shows they "the vast majority are (not) white women."

Shame on you, bringing facts into this discussion!

Yes, met an AO for Penn that was Asian.

The vast majority are white women, but there are some men too and some (far fewer) Black and/or latino/latina. But zero asians work as AOs and read applications. I wonder if this unconsciously impacts the "holistic" application process.

That's because it's a stupid job and Asians aren't stupid enough to be in the field.

I tried writing up a bit about my Asian student’s essays but even though I am Asian myself, I thought it could be perceived as racist. So I deleted it. I am more assimilated into American culture so can understand both cultures. All I will say is that this kid did not get into 50+ summer programs whose apps involved essays and with me telling her what to avoid, she was able to get into HYPSM. No editing — just advice.

Another Asian student refused to take my advice and ended up at state school despite having impressive stats. The essays really matter if you’re Asian.

Can you share some of your essay advice here?
