[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think high-achieving Asian-Americans are also being hurt by a simultaneous trend of colleges (and the general public) beginning to question the value of test-taking. In the old days, it was simple. Getting into a decent college meant taking an entrance exam (assuming you were white and male). There is an increasing tendency to look at a whole basket of factors, slightly diminishing the singular value of GPA and test scores. I don't think that this is solely done to marginalize Asian-Americans, but it does have that effect. [/quote] It's not just higher test scores and GPAs. Asian Americans are rejected despite having excellent ECs, leadership potential, volunteering, awards/recognition in addition to high SAT score and GPA. Asians generally excel in these other areas compared to other groups and still get rejected year in and year out hence the discrimination claim. [/quote] Cry me a (Charles) river. [/quote]
