Why are blacks more likely to apply for prestigious American schools?

When applying for a prestigious American school, blacks can sweep the rattan school with the same usual grades and test scores, while Asians can't even touch the door of the rattan school. Let's talk about why it is easier for blacks to apply for prestigious American schools.

I still remember that some time ago, an Indian brother applied for American medical school as an Asian, but his application was rejected many times. Finally, he became a black brother through cross-dressing and successfully applied for a prestigious American school.

Although this incident shocked many people, it also made us question the so-called "fairness" of famous American schools. What do you think of this matter?

Let's discuss it in the message area from the consultant's point of view!

I can only say in general that the proportion of international students admitted to American universities is basically low, about 10%. If you don't have American citizenship, you are an international student, and this admission rate is not as good as that of local students. This is also the reason why American students can attend Harvard with Sat 1800. And the student's skin color is not the key. If he is black, but not American, he also belongs to that 10% student.

But some universities pay more attention to the diversity of student groups. Even if many China students meet the admission requirements, not all China students will be admitted, but some places will be allocated to other international students to achieve a certain balance. So when Asian students study hard, other international students will feel that they have no advantage.

In fact, are famous American schools discriminating against Asians? Let's talk about it.

According to the Daily Mail, in 2008, two Asian students were rejected to apply for American Ivy League schools.

The two students took Princeton to court, accusing the school of racial discrimination in the enrollment process.

Federal investigators conducted a seven-year survey of many schools, including Princeton University, and the final result was that Princeton did not discriminate against Asian applicants.

The official statement of Princeton University is that it is difficult to distinguish Asian applicants in the enrollment process.

Because their backgrounds are very similar, they are usually standard pre-medical students. No matter what the official American survey results are, the real data prove everything-Thomas Espenshade and Alexandra Radford.

The study in 2009 showed that, on average, if Asians want to enter a prestigious school, they must have a higher SAT score than white students 140 points. 270 points higher than Hispanic students; 450 points higher than black students.

This triple standard red fruit, who says it doesn't discriminate against you! Do we really think that our IQ is too high to be deceived? !

However, there is a sentence in the official statement that hurts our hearts, and that is-extremely similar.

You Asian students are awesome, but so what?

They all look the same, boring!

Similar advantages

Is it because we are not good enough that international famous schools reject Asian students? On the contrary, we are too good.

Not only excellent, but also excellent in batch. Excellent assembly line, Olympic Games.

In the 1990s, our winning percentage was 10%-20%, and now it is 50%. In the chemistry Olympics, the winning rate of Asians is as high as 90%.

The GPA of Asian students is generally higher than that of other ethnic groups. We are all masters of learning and engaging in some high-end arts.

I joined the band only after being called by the intermediary. I learned to play the piano and tennis. I am an Asian student. What else can't I do?

Ah! Go ahead!

Similar PS and resume

The resumes submitted by Asian students to international famous schools all have super-high GPA without exception.

The internship of famous enterprises is super awesome, and their personal skills are super comprehensive.

But we must know that there are many excellent people, but few unique people.

The so-called elite is not flawless and mediocre Excellence, but you are the most dazzling among thousands of people.

I don't believe that babies haven't had this experience-how to write search documents for studying abroad?

Nine times out of ten, the answer is almost the same. These so-called DIY are not DIY at all. The legendary dry goods are standardized answers-what to write and what not to write. It's clear where it should be bold and where it should be striped.

Thousands of different people use the same routine, so it is strange that the documents written are not similar.

When we were reciting the TOEFL little red book, the teenagers of American imperialists were busy preparing for the dance, participating in clubs and socializing.

They are not only more unique, but also more active, and famous schools such as Ivy League rely heavily on gifts from alumni.

To put it bluntly, thieves love money. In order to have successful alumni from all walks of life, they will try their best to recruit students with good background, stronger activity ability and more potential to become successful alumni.

What they want is a social butterfly

Not a college bully

Don't build it, just like brother Chen? What I fear most is not the final term or writing a paper. But evil teamwork and demonstration. When I speak in public, there is something wrong with my bladder. I'm afraid I haven't spoken yet. However, under the current education system in China, it is obviously unrealistic to become a social butterfly under the simulated hurricane of three-year college entrance examination for five years, but it must not be the same Asian!

Brother Chen sincerely hopes that I am an Asian student, a scholar born for the laboratory, a runaway wild horse, an exquisite social butterfly and a spontaneous poet.

The only thing you don't want is to reach a certain standard and become so-called "excellent". Whether it is rattan school or country, it is most important to find the soil that can make your wonderful flowers bloom.

Statistics show that the SAT scores of Asian students in Harvard are higher than those of white students 140 points. No matter the objective data or the subjective feelings of the Chinese community, there is actually a quota limit for Asian students in famous American schools. So what is the reason for this discrimination?

University enrollment serves the overall goal of the school. What are the strategic goals of famous American universities? Elegance is popularity and influence, which promotes the innovation and progress of the country and even all mankind; Secular speaking, it is donation, and it is your own students who become leaders in various industries. Therefore, the core considerations for enrollment in prestigious schools are two points:

1, what is the potential for students to succeed in the future?

2. What is the possibility of giving back to the school?

People say that the tuition of famous American schools is very expensive, and it is really high. However, tuition income can only cover less than one-eighth of the whole budget. Most of the money comes from the investment income donated. However, in terms of donations, the contribution of Asians to the American elite survival endowment fund is far lower than the proportion of Asian students in the total number of students.

The contribution of outstanding alumni to the reputation of the school. Looking at the academicians of the American Academy of Sciences in mathematics, physics and chemistry, the proportion of Asian academicians is only 5%. From the perspective of Nobel Prize, there are 889 Nobel Prize winners. Among them, only 7 Chinese Americans won the prize, accounting for 0.79% of the total number. There are 1 14 Jews (including Einstein), which is 16 times that of China. Compared with scholars, outstanding people in society have made more profound and extensive contributions to the reputation of their alma mater.

Asians, especially Chinese, lack outstanding people with extensive influence in the United States. The truly influential China man is Yao Ming, who used to play in the NBA, but now he has returned to China. Then there is Jeremy Lin, who let the world know that Harvard can also train excellent NBA players, which is what Harvard really wants.

Even so, on the whole, the contribution of Chinese alumni to the reputation of prestigious schools is still insignificant compared with whites and Jews. Although Asians are smart, diligent and have good grades, they have fewer opportunities to donate money and achieve mainstream success in the United States than other ethnic groups. Restricting Asian enrollment has become a hidden rule under the table.
