[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you believe all the anti-Asians, Vandy will soon lose its luster with the crowd that supposedly is the subject of this article as the Asian population is now approaching 20% and rising.[/quote]

Yes, and then the high achieving whites who want to balance academics with a robust social scene will move elsewhere and another school will become hot and then it too will change over time.  
It happened at Duke and Northwestern. My freshman is at Dartmouth and it's happening there too---the crowd has really changed since a cousin attended 5 years ago.  
The smart but socially-oriented kids will move on. Probably next to somewhere like Wake Forest or back to University of Chicago (which is becoming more chill).

I know people will say this is just racist but it's just kids trying to find a place of balance.

Agree.
I personally like wake forest, Washington &lee, or even UVA, as long as white is the dominant majority, it’s fine.  [/quote]

White is the dominant majority at nearly all schools.

It’s funny how the mediocre white folks are coming out of the woodwork.  No pretense that they can [b]compete [/b]anymore so just retreat.

BTW, UVA is 31% Asian…also continuing to rise.[/quote]

You mean 'compete' by posting a 1600 superscore and a couple of "national" EC accolades that were purchased by your dad in Seoul and perfected over a period of 15 years? Sure.

Turns out there are myriad other important factors for winning the long game, and the Harvard lawsuit document dump put those out there on display for the world to see.  [/quote]

The Harvard lawsuit showed how much Harvard was discriminating AGAINST Asians.[/quote]

Yes that was my point. And some of the things AOs sought, instead of 1600 superscores and pay-to-play STEM ECs, were subjective traits like moxie and poise.  Which many interpreted as “white.”   [/quote]
