[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am quite sure this is not as widespread as the pyschos on this board suggest.[/quote]

Plenty of Asian parents are fed up with their kids being discriminated against and being held to an impossible standard.  The system is rigged against them, why not play the game?[/quote]

Have you seen the make up of Ivy campuses? My kid was admitted to several T15. Asian kids are over represented. At one Ivy, Asian was the majority race of the admitted students group that day. Stop playing the victim.  Many Asian families think there is some recipe to a T15 and now claim discrimination.  It's holistic admissions,  and every T15 campus has a large cohort of Asian kids. Much larger than population percentages would suggest. Even if these schools filled all their spots with Asian kids, it would still result in overwhelming rejection for most Asian kids. [/quote]

Overrrepresenstjon rate for stats is lower than Jews.

Jews are 10x over represented if you want to go down this route

2% of normal population

20% at hypsm

WHAT??

DP here.  First part is correct.  Second part is absolutely NOT correct.

Actually it is 11 times at 22%.[/quote]

I think you may be including grad stats. Undergrad for Harvard is 10% Jewish. And, does this poster's throwing around "Jews" bother anyone else? I am not Jewish but find this person's tone and narrative offensive. I understand the point being made, and I think it's fine to have over representation of groups, but I also think it's fair to say that colleges use a variety of admission criteria (not just hight gpa/tests), and it's good to have a diverse student body and that both Asian and Jewish student groups do very well in admissions at these schools. I find this whole race/ethnicity game people want to play with admissions objectionable. [/quote]
