[quote=sdrealtor]speaking to ocr’s comments on Ivy Leagues. It has a lot to do with legacies. Lots of alumni jewish doctors and lawyers send their kids to their alma maters often tuition fre. They donate lots of money and have inside connections into the system they were a part of. Alot of my neighbors growing up were physicians at Univ of Penn. Not only did their kids all get in but they went because mom and/or dad were university employees so their tuition was free. Those places have HUGE endowments. I think it is alot more of that than outright discrimination against asians.[/quote]
not saying there isn’t some of that alumni issue. I know there is. But for that to be the difference between the 15% acceptance rate of Asians vs 30% acceptance rate of Jews, that’s a much bigger share of the pie then I would have ever imagined. And I can’t imagine a school would be able to retain its top caliber status letting that many lesser qualified alumni children in.
