[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone from an Asian American household, I will tell you that many traditional Asian parents from China and Korea especially are obsessed with us news rankings and view it as like some kind of admissions Bible. My cousin who was applying to college last year said aside from her in state safety schools, her parents would not let her apply or attend any school outside of the top 20. This is a similar mentality I've observed in many households, and can already tell anecdotally that washu and Emory are going to take a huge hit this year[/quote] We're also AAs and that is simply not true. No one [b]intelligent [/b]is going to say to a kid that if a good-fit school went from say 14 to 23 on one ranking, don't apply now. Please don't perpetuate this stereotype. It makes all of us look bad.[/quote]
