Does being Indian hurt my chance to go to an Ivy League School?

1)It’s illogical to be an ORM and claim discrimination .

Percentage asian-americans at Ivies is higher than their proportion of US population, bcs a high number of them apply. But their ADMIT RATE is lower than that of other groups because the Ivies put a ceiling on the percentage.

2)The SAT has been rendered unreliable due to cheating, over preparation and multiple testing attempts.

So why do all the ivies mandate SAT scores if the scores are utterly useless?

3)High Asian SAT scores are likely inflated due to Foreign Asian scores.

Int’l are a separate pool. But SamRam thinks anyone w an asian face is a foreigner.

4)Assuming the SAT is reliable, the difference between a 2300 and 2100 score is statistically meaningless as a indicator of success, since the difference is likely only that of around 6-8 questions. Such a small difference predicts nothing. A far better predictor is likely the ability to captain a sport or speak several languages. Hence the need for a Holistic process.

If you’ve taken the SAT more than once, u will know there is a world of difference in being able to achieve a 2100 v a 2300 score.

At my kid’s school, the athletic teams all have several captains so lots of seniors can jot it down in their college app.

“Holistic” gives the schools the opacity to discriminate at will.

5)Lastly to save face, it appears many blame the admission process instead of owning up to a lack of credentials.

It’s not lack of credentials but requirement of higher credentials (as compared to other demographic groups) that is the issue.
