[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who feels this might be true sometimes: First gen Asians feel a lot of pressure to get into top universities for the obvious reasons, but also to impress family members in home countries who will recognize a Stanford or Yale over a U of Michigan/UVA for example. Second and third gen Asians, are more assimilated and have more empathy for URMs and they, and their parents, understand that it is not Ivy or bust. [/quote] This doesn't sound right. I'm a 1.5 gen Korean immigrant. I came here when I was in HS in 1989. First gen and 1.5 gen normal Asian students don't really much luxury to shoot for the most elite. A lot of barriers. You can't really get stellar score on English. They are mostly satisfied with good state schools. It's the 2nd gen that start giving it a try. [/quote] This sounds right. And not just for Asians but other immigrants as well. [/quote]
