[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]25% of Asian kids score 1400+ on the SAT. Only 4% of White and 1% of Hispanic and Black kids do. Asians are underrepresented at elite schools given their high grades and board scores. [/quote] But a lot of them get those scores because they go to cram schools. They're not naturally smarter or anything. And the problem with this framing is your premise is these scores are the primary criterion elite schools value -- or should value. They're not. And shouldn't be. As it is, Asian kids are WOEFULLY overrepresented and we really should cut back on them. [/quote]
