[quote=Anonymous]I'm hearing that Asian admissions (mainly for abroad) are likely to be dramatically lower in the wake of the cheating scandals of last summer.  Here is one report:

There were similar reports out of China and schools are finding massive organized cheating in all aspects of college admission: standardized test, transcripts, recommendations. and "personal"  essays. Schools have been looking the other way to keep the inflow of "full pay" students, but the large number of students who continue to cheat in college and make no effort to participate in class discussion is drawing complaints from other students.  My sister's DC experienced this at UCLA and I've heard similar stories from children at Cal, USC and Stanford - all of which have a high % of students from Asia.  It's hard to kick the habit of bringing in these "full pay" students of questionable merits, but schools will be scrutinizing applicants from Asia much more going forward.
