[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High-achieving Asian-American applicants who play a musical instrument and want to concentrate in a STEM field are a dime a dozen. Kids who fit that profile are competing against one another, and only the ones who are true outliers or offer something else distinctive will gain admission. Harvard offers a liberal arts curriculum at the UG level and consequently looks for an array of disciplinary interests and talents. They are looks for future award-winning anthropologists, authors, artists and history scholars as much as for future doctors and engineers. Statistically, the pool for each of the former categories is less deep.[/quote] Right. Many on this thread are not acknowledging the key point that Harvard's interest in diversity pertains to many areas, including field of study. There are only so many STEM kids Harvard will admit. My guess is that any quotas have just as much, or more, to do with this as with race or ethnicity.[/quote]
