<p>Nobody would ever, ever drum up business by exaggerating the racial bias. Not ever. </p>

<p>“150-to-1 odds” is an objective statement of admission probabilities. Yes.</p>

<p>There are no Chinese internet forums where claims of overwhelming admissions bias are circulated to universal outrage.</p>

<p>The Asian applicant pool does not display any clustering of credential profiles, geography, high school, intended major, out-of-school achievements, or other non-racial admissions variables. Certainly not compared to any other group. That’s just a big myth; thanks for exploding it!</p>

<p>A year of SAT prep makes the scores better predictors of performance. </p>

<p>Stanford reached 25 percent Asian enrollment after weeding out discriminatory practices against Asians, until the statistical signatures disappeared. Therefore, Harvard will definitely surpass 30 percent Asians if they do the same. It’s just like Berkeley, but on the East Coast. Word!</p>

<p>Oh it’s not that bad. Stop whining and be happy. I’m opposed to AA myself, but I can respect arguments from both sides. </p>

<p>Let’s start having babies and fill legacy spots.</p>

<p>How is it discrimination if they reject someone because there are many other Asian application like his/her and he/she weren’t strong enough (like the Math loving, science loving, not really good at sport kind)?
How is it racism if they reject someone because he/she don’t stand out or don’t provide diversity?
I highly doubt that they reject someone because you are Asian, they reject him/her because his/her application seemed to similar to others and does not stand out amongst the other Asians, and provides little diversity.</p>
