The asian numbers look badly skewed. AA can explain black and hispanic numbers theoretically -- Is there any similar easy explanation for the asian numbers?

I wonder how much of that is because what I said earlier that Asians tend to make crappy 'people'. I know it's a stereotype but there's enough truth in it and it may actually affect applicants. Colleges look at other things besides SAT scores and high school grades; they want to see a complete person who was involved in activities and who can sell themselves in an essay. It's obviously not always true but there are a lot of Asian kids that are lacking in these areas.

and by the way,

The Espenshade/Radford study draws from a new data set, the National Study of College Experience (NSCE), which was gathered from eight highly competitive public and private colleges and universities (entering freshmen SAT scores: 1360) That's cool cause that is exactly what my SAT score was. 1360. Should've gone ivy league
