[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at schools like University of Michigan and University of California, Berkeley, once the use of in admissions process race was banned, number of Asian Americans being admitted increased substantially and number of Hispanics and AA admissions decreased.

Did Asian Americans all of sudden demonstrate better leadership skills, initiative, passion etc. when the ban took effect? Did Hispanics and AA all of sudden demonstrate less leadership skills, initiative, passion etc. at the same time? [/quote]

Don't compare apples and oranges. The big land grant universities are heavily reliant on GPA and test scores for their admission decisions and do not conduct holistic reviews that weigh leadership and passion. If the top public colleges used the same application review process as the Ivies, there would likely not have been any major change in Asian representation. [/quote]

I was just going to type in this response, and saw that PP beat me to it.

1st PP, I think I recognize you from other threads where you go to great lengths to imply, without actually stating, that you think Asians are superior intellectually to other racial groups.

You have lost this argument in multiple ways, from the posters talking about affording SAT prep to the posters talking about cultural traditions regarding cram schools to the PP above who just debunked your latest attempt involving Berkeley. Either you are extremely dense (which is ironic, for an Asian), or you have shut your eyes to the weakness of continuing to post BS like this, in order to imply Asian racial superiority, without finding some way, any way, to actually substantiate your implied claimed of racial supriority[/quote]

University of Michigan:

The Decision

"After conducting a comprehensive,[b] holistic[/b] and individualized review of an application including academic preparation and extracurricular preparation, reviewers make an admissions decision recommendation based on the composite evaluation rating and comments. In the end, each final decision is influenced by a number of factors, each carefully weighed and considered to make the best possible decision for the applicant and the University of Michigan."

University of California-Berkeley:

"UC Berkeley pioneered the [b]holistic[/b] review process at UC (now adapted by most of the UC campuses), enabling us to admit a diverse undergraduate class representing 53 states/commonwealths and 74 countries, with 17% who are first-generation college-going and 65% who receive financial aid. “Holistic review” refers to the process of evaluating applications, described below.

The goal of our selection process is to identify applicants who are most likely to contribute to Berkeley’s intellectual and cultural community and, ultimately, to the State of California, the nation, and the world.

[b]The Holistic Review[/b]

All applications are read in their entirety by professionally trained readers. That means, we review each application in its entirety, word by word, page by page. Many applications are read two or even three times."[/quote]

ZING[/quote]

If you think that's zing-worthy, [b]you're even stupider than the PP [/b][i]who bothered to cut and paste stuff from UC that doesn't even mention extracurriculars, leadership and passion.[/quote]

Wow! Just Wow! what a hypocrite[/quote]
