[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This case is going nowhere. Those stats are run of the mill at those schools, regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

I doubt more than 5% high school grads earn these stats. [/quote]

Do you realize how many kids that 5% is?

More than 17,000 kids are in the top 1% of SAT scores alone. Harvard only admitted 2,318 applicants. So even if being in the top 1% were their sole criteria (and in fact it appears that 90% of admitted students were), more than 14,000 kids in the top 1% would be (and were) rejected.[/quote]

Around 2000 x t20 = 40,000
They(top 1%) should at least get in a T20 school.[/quote]

So you believe the only criterion for admission to a T20 school should be the SAT?[/quote]

Most of these kids also have high gpa and rigor as well as good ECs, essay, leadership, interview, etc.

It's not a common case to have only supirior SAT.  Didn't you see the Harvard data?

They know all the criterion involved, and prepared.

[b]That's why Harvard had to introduce courage/kindness/likability score.[/b]

Google it for further information.

um...no, they introduced those "soft" metrics as a way to discriminate against Jews. Google it for further information.[/quote]

Yup....iirc, they were rejecting Asian students for crap like not being funny enough, the perception that they'd study too much and wouldn't do well in team learning, etc. 
WTH?  This is the 21st century, yet here we have huge organizations rejecting very qualified people based on racial stereotypes, because that's the only way they can keep their numbers at bay.

Asian parents really need to teach their kids how to keep it real, yo.  Maybe they should force their kids to write rap songs and post their tracks to YouTube rather than she them learn a classical instrument.  Instead of going to math camp, sign them up for stand up comedy open mic nights. [/quote]
