        @paulg It needs MIT & Stanford data, or you're looking at tech vs liberal arts & eastcoast vs west coast.

        @paulg @pmarca I have a problem with the fact that they can't spell enrollment right. (Plus, it's a confusing chart.)

        @reichenstein @paulg I think it's saying that univs have artificial caps on Asians. Caltech only one that (correctly) rises with population

        @paulg Caltech doubled its Asian population, so did Dartmouth and Princeton. The data is not as clear as the graph wants us to believe.

        @paulg is it possible that geographic concentration in school choices has something to do with it? One west coast school vs. rest east coast

        @workingrob @paulg Could be interpreted that Cal Tech accepts asians at a higher rate than other deserving ethnicities.

        @samthebrand @paulg SAT scores, tonnes of other evidence, suggests otherwise. Asian population doubles, same number admitted?

        @workingrob @paulg Agreed. Just saying the chart isn't conclusive. It's possible all universities were over-admitting prior to 1990.

        @samthebrand Could be, but very very unlikely given other things we know about academic qualifications and science/engineering applications

        @paulg @pmarca they should have included @RiceUniversity. When I was there, it seemed like a very welcoming environment for them.
