[quote=Anonymous]First generation Chinese-American with a recent Big 3 grad. We saw nothing to indicate that "East Asians are affirmatively discriminated against" in admissions at the DC area independent schools. My DC applied to 2 of the Big 3 and was admitted to both. My impression is that the schools would love to have more Asian-Americans. Among fellow Asian-Americans in the DC political/legal/policy/think tank world, I would guess that the majority send their children to the independents. In part, many of us were among the first wave of Asian-Americans in the elite colleges and professions and we are as concerned about building our children's social capital as we are about their academic skills. Among more recent immigrants in the outer suburbs and more IT or small business backgrounds, few are interested in paying $40k+ tuition when first-rate magnet programs are possible for free.[/quote]
