Asians at Princeton?

<p>Does Princeton have a lot of Asians like the other top schools? (just out of curiosity, no particular reason)</p>

<p>I hope not, cause I'm applying to Princeton!</p>

<p>Yes .</p>

<p>not as much as harvard and yale, i believe, but a hefty population nvrthless</p>

<p>then how can Princeton be considered racist and dominated by WASPS?</p>

<p>WASPS? White Anglo Saxxons Protestant Students? Isn't that pretty much 75% of America?</p>

<p>zing! HAHAHHA! OWNED></p>

<p>According to the Yale Daily News's 2005 guide to colleges...</p>

<p>Yale: 34% minorities: 13% Asian, 8% African-American, 6% Hispanic, 0% Native American
Harvard: 40% minorities: 17% Asian, 7% African-American, 8% Hispanic, 1% Native American
Princeton: 35% minorities: 12% Asian, 8% African-American, 6% Hispanic, 1% Native American</p>

<p>So Princeton has about the same number of Asians as Yale, but less than at Harvard.</p>

<p>Asians are over-represented at every top school.</p>

<p>There was actually an article in the Prince not long ago about Princeton's supposed bias against asians. They argued that Princeton has too low of a percentage of asians compared to Harvard and Yale, so the adcom must be doing something fishy. I thought it was amusing, and I'm Chinese, so don't take it seriously.</p>

<p>Princeton has its share of WASPs, but then there are an equal or greater number of crazy liberals like me to suppress them, so it's not really an issue.</p>
