Why do Asians care about scores so much?

PG, it is simple. There are few reasons to abandon the practices when they deliver the goods. And it HAS worked extremely well for decades as the schools have rewarded the students with admissions that far exceed their population representation. The model minority has reaped tremendous returns on their excessive focus on academics and resume building. And probably at the expense of the BWRK who held the past and romantic view that colleges loved the well rounded kids for … way too long. </p>

<p>The biggest news is mostly when the trick is exposed and the return starts to erode. Hence the callous allegations of discrimination that show their ugly heads every year. </p>

<p>Trophy hunters, serial applicants, prestige whores will remain part of the landscape. And they could not care less about what others think. They are unrepentant.

<p>LOL. So the “trick” is that they try to get ahead by doing well in school and on having impressive ECs and cocurricular achievements.</p>

<p>Sorry, but I don’t get it. How is this bad?</p>
