[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem isn’t that Harvard discriminates against Asian American students, the problem is that many of the top schools hold Asian American candidates to a higher academic standard while their admission committees simultaneously view these kids as uninteresting or lacking personality. This negative stereotyping seems to permeate institutions of higher learning making it more difficult for Asian American students (especially if female) to find mentors etc. I am not sure why so many posters are focusing on African American students when the problem lies within the college administration and faculty. [/quote] Once again, think outside the box. You have to look for schools that value Asians. Oxford and Cambridge do not have affirmative action. Many SLACs value Asian students. If you keep flocking to schools where all other Asians are applying, you are limiting yourself. That’s not to say you should avoid ivies. Cast a wide net. [/quote]
