[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that graduate school at CalTech is a white majority while undergrad is Asian majority.  I wonder why?

Demographics of Caltech student body
                                       Undergraduate	                       Graduate
Caucasian American            31%                                     43%
Asian American	                   40%                                      11%
Underrepresented minority	    13%                                         6%
Other/International	               11%                                       39%[/quote]

Don't leave us hanging.  What's your theory?[/quote]

My theory is that more Asian Americans are more or less forced to choose Caltech as opposed to other top schools due to Asian quota in undergraduate admissions but there appears to be far less discrimination against Asian Americans and Affirmative Action seems to play a lesser role as well with graduate school admissions. With less discrimination, Asian Americans have more choice as to graduate programs and thus make up lower portion of Caltech graduate school. [/quote]

What evidence do you have for the conclusion that there is less discrimination in graduate admissions?  Simply that there are more Asians proportionally in grad school?  That seems like circular logic.[/quote]
