[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale has good statistics.  Int'l students have risen from 3-4% in 1990 to 11% in 2014.  But increases the difficulty for other applicants by 7-8%, that's not nearly as big a deal as these articles make it out to be.  I really think lots of this "new" selectivity has to do with simply more applications from the same batch of students.

more bs.

our culture sticks a knife in the back of each other daily.

H1Bs are taking the jobs and then we give the college training to the asian children.

bummer it is happening to the ivies now.

our pc thinking forces us to treat others as equals when the other cultures take care of each other.  ask the workers replace by the asian invasion h1bs.  They don't fire each other.[/quote]

A lot off univ. are allowing in more foreign students b/c of the money.  So if you don't like it, go complain to them; don't blame the minorities for taking advantage of what is offered.

You must be white.  I'm so sick of some white people complaining about how they're kids cannot get into Ivy Leagues b/c of the minorities.  You have your head up your ass if you don't know that Asian students are discriminated against by Ivy Leagues by putting a cap on the numbers they admit.  Asians have to work 2x hard as whites to get in, but you don't hear them up in arms about reverse race discrimination at Ivy Leagues. No, they just buckle down even more and prove they can still do it even if you put bigger hurdles in front of them compared to whites.

If the schools only admitted by test scores and GPA, the schools would probably be 40% - 60% Asian. That is what happened at UC Berkley and UCLA after Prop 209 in CA passed - no longer race based admissions.

So, stop whining and at tell your kids to work harder, like the Asians.  Man, for a race that is supposed to be "superior", you do sure whine a lot.[/quote]
