[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the reason this person does not accept your point is that they are 1) Asian American who believes they are being discriminated against, and 2) believe “merit” = “test scores.” Prove me wrong.[/quote]

Read the data. They’re higher rated on academic and extracurricular ratings. What do you mean by merit?  The ability to throw a lacrosse ball?

If you don’t think Asian american applicants are disadvantaged in the process vis a vis all other groups then there is no point to trying to convince you. [/quote]

This is obvious. I am amazed by the deniers.

The Harvard case exposed it, with actual data to back it up.

The most amazing thing was those Personality scores -- interviewers gave Asian Americans the same scores on average as other groups, but admissions staff who had never met them gave them way worse scores in order to penalize them.

What a shameful scam.[/quote]

The question no one answers and people pretend they don’t understand, repeated again:

While it appears that way when you look at just Harvard and a single-digit number of other colleges, isn’t the exact opposite at 99% of all other colleges where Asian is an URM?[/quote]

False premise, wrong facts, stupid question.[/quote]

Well, when you present all those facts in such a detailed and thoughtful response, it is hard to argue.

Lol... face the truth man.  Not a false premise, DEFINITELY NOT THE WRONG FACTS, and a question you don't want to answer truthfully.[/quote]

DP. What schools are known to provide a race preference for Asian students in the admissions process?  I’m not taking about schools where Asians are under represented but schools where they receive a preference.  You seem to have the facts.  If you can provide backup I would be interested to see that. [/quote]

Yes, you are talking about schools where Asians are Under represented. Any selective school tries to achieve racial Balance so there is a benefit to any student applying there where they are under represented. This has been explained many times in this thread and others here with the schools listed even. And there are many others be on the ones listed. You only have data for Harvard because they were sued[/quote]
