[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We do recognize differences in ethnicity. For instance, being Hmong or Uzbek will mean you are reviewed under a different light than if you were Chinese or Indian. At the end of the day, all of these groups will be reported in the same census group, but we are tasked with bringing a diversity of students, and that means people from all ethnic backgrounds. A case in point- we had an applicant ranked #4 who was Chinese and another ranked #13 who was Vietnamese; the former had higher test scores and more extracurricular involvements, but the Vietnamese applicant was low-income and the strongest STEM student in their school. We admitted the latter, not the former; we receive so many qualified Chinese applications, but not many Vietnamese ones. [/quote] Please learn to read. Obviously they do not lump all Asians as one identity in the consideration process. [/quote] Don’t be dim, of course they do when they set their quota.[/quote]
