Do people really think college admissions work in a way where the highest scores are admitted? Fortunately it is a far more nuanced process.

I don't think the article or this lawsuit even highlights the problem. Ivy leagues have a higher SAT threshold for Asians
-
With all other factors (grades, electives etc) equal, they are expected to have 140 pts higher than Caucasians on the SATs to be admitted.
-
They're being penalized for higher scores bc they are expected to hold higher scores than their peers, all other factors being equal.
-
Schools don't admit just on test scores. Having a diverse student body is obviously also a goal of every university as it should be
-
They shouldn't. But you are okay w/ schools using a higher SAT criteria for Asians than everyone else?
-
The point being that Asians are comparable in other factors. The higher SAT scores are being used to turn down applicants to keep w/in quota
-
Perhaps Asians compete against other Asians which is a group with very high test scores but I believe pursuit of diverse population is good

Asian-Americans should be an inspiration to all as to their thrift, industry and tenacity. Certainly not penalized.

Blacks should know what Asian are really all about. Remember how they came together to defend Peter Liang.

That's the way it should be. America was not founded by Asians. America for Americans.

So Asian American are not American? This is the dumbest tweet ever!

Country is ancestry. I would bet that if 25000 all- Americans move to your ancestral country they would have less freedom than you have here

You should stop tweeting! You sound even dumber with every tweet.

they don't give preferential treatment. Asians set their standard and now everyone is held to that standard.

if you're an Asian w/ good grades & excel at the piano/violin, they don't view that as anything but ordinary. their achievements are
