[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard's own statistics show that the average Asian APPLICANT submits a 1450 or better. The average White a 1425. All the way down to 1250. The average of those that are ACCEPTED follow the same line on a chart. The typical Asian family just won't apply (or will apply test optional) if they don't have a 97th percentile score. That is cultural. The typical African American family will apply with an 80th or better percentile score. That is also cultural. People hold themselves to different standards. I don't have statistics on African immigrant families but anecdotally I will say they are more like Asian families and they don't use their scores unless they are high percentile.
