<p>It would be cool to have fun without those pesky hispanics, blacks and caucasians bringing our collective intellect down. ;p</p>
<p>Seriously, it should be an option for people who are tired of talking about AA. Let's go to schools where's the overrepresented minority is proudly the majority! W00T!</p>
<p>And they should use test-only admission. Muhahahahahaha.</p>
<p>Now, what should we call them?</p>
<p>I am not sure if I agree with your point.</p>
<p>However, I imagine someday Beijing University may set up a branch campus in the US? Then the admission could be based on test scores... You should expect to take 150 credit hours to graduate though!</p>
<p>"Let's go to schools where's the overrepresented minority is proudly the majority!"</p>
<p>UC Irvine is about 51% Asian ^-^</p>
<p>Umm..
Racial flame bait?
xD</p>
<p>well, the ivies were rejecting all the Jews simply because they were Jewish...and what did they do? They founded Brandeis. :)</p>
<p>Maybe you guys can do the same.</p>
<p>I don't think you can compare Asians and Jews at this point. It seems downright irresponsible to do so. There are plenty of Asians in the top schools, and California (the best public system in the country) seems to have no problem accepting tonnes of them.</p>
<p>That's because the UCs refuse to practice discriminatory policies to correct "over-representation." As a result, UC-B has 46% Asians (correct me if I am incorrect). But that's not the norm among top schools, and that is what some people take issue with.</p>
<p>The norm is still 15-25%.</p>
<p>California has a huge in-state Asian population. Of course the UCs have "tonnes" of Asian (and Asian-American) students.</p>

In what way is it irresponsible? The issue we're talking about is alleged discrimination in college admissions with the excuse of "lack of character" or "lack of well-roundedness" - discrimination that Jewish applicants suffered before, and Asian applicants suffer today. We are not discussing anti-Semitism in general, or any of the atrocities Jews historically suffered as a result.</p>
<p>I think an Asian school would be a great idea. But I doubt that an admissions office that didn't demand a 4.0 (or at least a 3.8) would be properly representing Asian culture... ;)</p>
<p>Admissions would depend on three criteria:
1) Grades and rigor of courseload (Honors, APs, and IBs practically required - solid background in math/science also necessary for humanities students)
2) Test scores (SATs, AMC, AP, etc)
3) Awards/Extracurriculars - "real" activities like research, newspaper, debate, academic team, tutoring, volunteering in the Asian community... "hooks" would be Intel, Siemens, USAMO, RSI/TASP, and other recognizable award winners.</p>
<p>Prop 209 (no AA) is not responislbe for the large percentage of Asian in the UC system. The UC master plan is.</p>
<p>Prop 209's role is to change the composition of the student enrollment in the top UC campuses.</p>
<p>A lot of noise had been made about UCI being an Asian majority campus. While some Vietnamese in Orange county may pick UCI as first choice because it is within commuting distance, and student for which UCI is a reach would gladly accept, a lot of Asians go there because they fails to be accepted at the top 3 UC campuses, not because it is Asian majority compus.</p>
<p>Where, until post #10, was there any mention of Prop 209 on this thread?</p>
<p>California has a very, very heavy in-State Asian population. Many Asian families have strong preferences for public education when excellent (makes sense), over private. Many Asians also have reasons for preferring large University settings to smaller colleges. A large Asian presence at any UC campus should not be a surprise to anyone. It should also not be a surprise to anyone that many entering freshmen prefer a wider representation of nationalities & ethnicities in their undergraduate years, & thus may choose to leave the State for their education. (Some of those students are Asian, btw.)</p>

IIT? According to many posters, apparently it's 100x harder to get into than HYP. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>The Gao Kao in China is insanely hard. I have cousins who are in the "key" high schools in China and all they do is study (which in China means sitting down and memorizing items that might be on the test). I'm pretty sure they're brilliant people, but they have the imagination the size of a bean.</p>

These sorts of things can't happen in today's political climate.</p>
<p>lol, i think it's sarcasm everybody so i wouldn't take this thread seriously</p>
<p>Yes there should be traditionally Asian colleges in the US.</p>
<p>There should also be traditionally European colleges, African colleges, Arabic colleges, Hispanic colleges....etc.</p>
<p>That way if they want to go to a school and be around their own race they should have the freedom to do so.</p>

<p>That results in an acceptance rate of .1%. :D</p>
<p>Thing is, I know of quite a few Asians who don't want to go to a college where Asians are common, e.g. Berkeley or UCLA.</p>
