<p>I know colleges like USC have tons of Asians, so perhaps they dont? Or do they just mainly have a lot of Asians because of people from Hawaii and Cali's high asian pop.?</p>

<p>“When we give a preference to a Latino applicant over an Asian to compensate for what a white student’s ancestor did to a black student’s ancestor, your head starts to spin.”</p>

<p>Princeton has become more willing to admit Asian-Americans after Jian Li brought a civil rights complaint against it.</p>

<p>Any state school that can’t consider race.</p>
<p>Fact? Or do they just “say” that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you sure of that? First of all, did Princeton admit more Asian in the past few years? And, if they did, how could one say it is because of Jian Li? </p>
<p>I believe that Princeton with or without Jian Li is still admitting the class it considers the best it can assemble. Just as they did when they rejected that individual.</p>

<p>There is a perception that Asians are much more likely to apply to “universities” than to “colleges” – even if the schools are equally selective academically.</p>
<p>For example, the four schools on the West Coast with the highest average SATs are probably Caltech, Stanford, Harvey Mudd, and Pomona College. The first two are “universities” and they have relatively high Asian enrollments (39% and 23% respectively, according to the current stats at collegeboard). The second two are “colleges”; they have comparable SAT scores, yet significantly lower Asian enrollments (13% and 15%). </p>
<p>It seems possible that top LACs might be less likely to “disfavor” Asians than top universities, simply because they don’t have particularly high Asian enrollments compared to the universities. Few LACs, even the ones with the highest national rankings, seem able to enroll more than 10-15% Asians.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins, Northwestern and Rice all with more than 20% Asian. These schools are not located in Asian population centers like SF Bay area and L. A., yet have comparable percent of Asian students with those located in those centers such as Stanford.</p>
<p>Try colleges that don’t have engineering and aren’t very science-oriented. North Carolina, Boston College, and a lot of liberal arts colleges (eg. Kenyon, Holy Cross, Colgate).</p>
<p>Yes, and those schools used high scoring Asians to climb in the rankings.</p>
<p>Let’s face it, private colleges have quotas for every group. It would be easier to say they disfavor blacks because most have a lower percentage of blacks than exists in the overall US population while they have several times the percentage of Asians.</p>
<p>
That is a cynical view of it, but at the end of the day, it benefits Asian Students. Besides, some schools are more friendly to Asians than others for a variety of reasons.</p>
