[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is Asian. Has dual citizenship and possibly a third citizenship to come. He's no braniac - more of an athlete trying to use his sport to get him into good schools (He has a 3.91 UW GPA with about 8 APs but his test scores will likely be low) Is he going to have trouble getting into schools because he doesn't test as high as most Asians? We are hoping the coach who recruits him will help nudge him over the finish line a bit but it seems like coaches and admissions officers see an Asian kid and assume they will have a 1600 SAT and I'm not sure they will accept my child who does not.[/quote] This is the other side of the "model minority " myth. [b]All Asians aren’t academic superstars. Most go to community colleges.[/b] Blame the tiger moms.[/quote] if you are not academic superstar, can you even call yourself an Asian?[/quote] There are different strata for Asians, just as for other groups.
