I don’t take API scores all that seriously, but at least on that basis it is hard to argue the Cupertino schools are that much better.
Back on topic: I’m white but have known well quite a few Asians, and have to agree with much of what FLUB wrote. For example, I was struck by one finance MBA’s insistence on a 15 year mortgage. She wanted to pay it down. I tried to discuss diversifying assets, and so forth, but she would have none of it.
