[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]East Asian parents here.

Yes there is a list of top schools that many Asian parents want to send their kids to.

But not all Asian kids are super smart. For those kids, I noticed that Asian parents prefer big in-state public schools (for Virginia, UVa, VT, GMU, VCU, etc) over smaller public schools (such as MWC and CNU).

[b]You will have a hard time finding Asian kids at less known private schools like Roanoke college or Randolph Macon. [/b][/quote]
yep, like the SLACs because the ROI is not there.

Depends on who is doing the calculation and with what data. Princeton Review's list of top 50 ROI among privates is about 40% LAC.

Depends on what they target to for studies.  Most Asian kids likely target STEM and SLACs are weak in that area.  By STEM, I mean the hard-core variety like CS and Engineering.  [/quote]

Not sure what you mean but the link for ROI would take available data from any major into account.

STEM major percentages at most high ranking liberal arts colleges are on par with most high ranking universities, per the other recent thread.  That’s not counting social sciences as STEM.  Most LACs don’t have engineering but I don’t know of any that don’t have CS, natural sciences, and math.  I don’t consider engineering more “hard-core” than natural sciences.

If a school without engineering has a higher ROI than one with, that would suggest the one without is outperforming the one with in the majors they do share. [/quote]
