most of the Asian ppl I see that apply to top colleges get in, so I’m confused.

A very large number of Asian applicants have tippy top stats and only a small portion are getting into tippy top schools. A bunch are being rejected simply because schools desire diversity and don’t want every seat to be Asian (or white, or whatever).
My half-Asian nephew (perfect SAT, perfect ACT, NMSF, perfect GPA, #1 in his class) is applying to Stanford (and some other tippy top schools). He put down “white” because he and his siblings say they identify as white, but also because he believes that putting down Asian would hurt his app.
