[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] the number of Asian college applicants doubled  [/quote]
And this number would include the international applicants, many of whom obtained their scores and grades via fraud, right?

You are lumping Asian-Americans together with some applications from China, where there has been fraud discovered.  That's like lumping African-Americans in with the Nigerian internet scammers.[/quote]
Asian-American kids cannot account for doubling the number of applications. It has to be the internationals.
Fraud is not limited to China - remember the SAT cancellation scandal in South Korea? And it is not limited to Asia, either, but Asia supplies the most international applicants to US colleges.[/quote]

Fraud is not limited to Asians. Remember the SAT scandal in New York state where kids were paid to take the SAT test for someone else. This involved more than few kids and led to the SAT cracking down on security. This was mostly if not all white kids. Remember the Harvard cheating scandal that involved hundreds of students? Mostly if not all non-Asians. Remember the ex-Harvard student who fabricated the HS transcript to get into Harvard? That wasn't Asian. There are many examples of cheating by non-Asians as well. Asians don't have monopoly on cheating. 
International applications do not account for doubling of Asian applications. That is mostly due to increased Asian Americans applying.  [/quote]
