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>
