[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I assume this is directed at first gen students, but still seems pretty nuts. [/quote] why would you assume that? Many Asian American students are first gen, and they score very high in math, the highest of all groups.[/quote] For the most part it’s because all they do is study. [/quote] Actually, they do lot of martial arts (Tae Kwon Do etc.) and soccer and tennis as well.[/quote] But all of it is at the insistence of their parents in order to go to an Ivy. So formulaic. It’s like a “plug and chug” personality. Intrinsic motivation is completely absent.[/quote] Most people overlooked one fact, Asian kids' parents, lots of them were top students from China, India, Korea, Japan, Singapore as first generation immigrants. It's unfair to compare their kids with average kids here. Yes, there are smart first generation college Asian kids, but not majority. [/quote]
