[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Almost all of the "10-15%" decline is due to less whites applying (not blacks, Hispanics or Asians) and that is the point. The PPs are explaining why that is probably so. Whites being lazy and not wanting to compete with smart Asians. It is interesting that only white applications have declined. Blacks have far smaller chance of being admitted than whites but still continue to apply at about the same number year after year. That should be commended. Whites on the other hand are applying in less numbers because either 1) "there are too many smart Asians at TJ so I am not gonna bother" or 2) "I don't want to apply if whites are not the dominant group in charge". Both reasons should be condemned.

Racist much?  Just maybe, the family and the kid don't want him to spend 2 hours per day commuting.  Maybe they realize that he can get a great education at his local school and have friends that live nearby.[/quote]

Hmm! Maybe Asian families emphasize education and inculcate within their children the importance of doing well academically to enhance their future opportunities. A longer commute and not having friends who live nearby are given less priority over the need to do well academically in the most challenging environment commensurate with the child's ability and potential.

Just a whole different thought process and emphasison priorities.[/quote]
