[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from NY and Stuyvesant (located in Manhattan) is also predominately Asian. Most of these Asians are US citizens born to Asian immigrants.

This year, Stuyvesant offered admission to 9 black students; 24 Latino students; 177 white students; and 620 students who identify as Asian.

It doesn't sound all that different from TJ.

I just wanted to add that it is not that easy to learn a new language. [b]See how well you'd do on an entrance exam in Mandarin or Korean[/b]. Even if you wanted to, you would have a hard time acing the entrance exam and beating out natives. These kids are probably super smart.[/quote]

Moot point methinks.  They won't let you in to try.  It's a one way street.  Try waltzing into China or Korea and tell them you wish to enroll in school there. [/quote]

Not a moot point, I did when I was in the Army.

It is hard taking an entrance exam in Koran and you do have to pass but they do have an affirmative action program for us white guys.  Yonsai University is the top private University in Korea and has a great program for foreigners.  Here is the application site.  http://cmsdv.yonsei.ac.kr/grade/sub03/sub0301/sub03_01.asp

Be prepped for class if you want to pass.... [/quote]
