:lol: [/quote]

Or maybe because he did not pay consultants to write and proof his papers.  Varsity Blues baby. All the scum are in the top universities now. [b]Asians should boycott Harvard. [/b][/quote]

I don't agree with the rest of your post, but if nearly no Asians applied to Harvard, because of the way racial balance in admissions works, the Asian acceptance rate would shoot sky high, the way it is at some top LACs.[/quote]  what is the asian acceptance rate at what top LAC?[/quote]

There are top LACs where the % of asians is below the general population, rendering them URMs.  Look at the common data sets of them and find out which ones.  You will get a benefit especially if ED.

What are these rates please and where.  You are the one posting this.  What is the data?[/quote]

So you want me to do your homework for you?

Washington & Lee is one example, where it is only 3.7%

Next time ask nicely instead of tacitly accusing it is untrue and I'll help you with more.  For now, though, you are on your own.[/quote]

Call me crazy - but if this kid is such a genius -  why did he not game this system and apply to washington and lee.  Would he not have good chance of getting an acceptance?[/quote]

W&L and other SLAC/LACs are not strong in STEM which is likely what this kid was targeting.  If what you propose was a real strategy, W&L would be flooded with TJ kids and it is not.  There are no "hidden secrets" in college admissions.  Any arbitrage that one identifies is gone within a single admissions cycle.[/quote]

It was proposed that asian males have an advantage at top LACs that's all.[/quote]

They do and I was just explaining why. [/quote]
