Data from MIT, Yale, Princeton, Harvard & Columbia 數據來自麻省理工學院、耶魯大學、普林斯頓大學、哈佛大學和哥倫比亞大學

This is the first admissions data since the Supreme Court’s ruling against Harvard for discrimination against AsAm applicants. Is there a pattern of demographic change? No. Why not? Let’s look at the data first. Then we’ll explain the underlying cause for the absence of a pattern.

MIT (using test scores required admissions):
Asian up from 40 to 47%; Black down from 15 to 5%; Hispanics down from 16 to 11%; and White down from 38 to 37%.

Yale (using test scores optional admissions):
Asian down from 30 to 24%; Black held steady; Hispanics down slightly;
White???

Princeton: (using test scores optional admissions)
Asian down from 26 to 24%; Blacks held steady; Hispanics down slightly; White???

Harvard: (using test scores optional admissions)
Experts questioned the accuracy of Harvard’s data, including views from
its own student newspaper, The Crimson. For whatever it’s worth, it is:
Asians held steady at 37%, Blacks down from 18 to 14%, Hispanics
up from 14 to 16%, native Americans down rom 2 to 1%; White?

Columbia: (using test scores optional admissions)
Asian up from 30 to 39%; Black down from 20 to 12%; Hispanics down
from 22 to 19%; White down from 51 to 49%.

Reasons for the randomness

Except for MIT, the other 4 colleges used test scores optional admissions, which is more subjective than test scores required admissions. In 2023, there are 1830 colleges using test scores optional admissions. Next year, when all elite colleges return to test scores required admissions, the impact of the SCOTUS ruling should become more detectable. SFFA, led by Ed Blum, and 80-20 will be working together to prevent cheating by universities.

Stand Up & Fight Against Injustice, then We Shall Overcome

Do you remember how AsAm applicants were treated as recently as 2011? I read a book by Ron Unz entitled “The Myth of American Meritocracy”. When I came across the following diagram on p.328, I was awakened. See how the lines converge to 17% +/- 3% for Asians?

The Ivy League presidents, who talk about equal opportunity, justice, and transparency all the time, apparently got together and set a quota on the amount of AsAm students they could tolerate on their campuses – 17% +/- 3%. It was in force as late as 2011.

What does the above quota mean? To me, it means that regardless of how smart or how hard-working AsAm applicants are, their admissions to Ivies are pre-determined by a quota set by the Ivy League establishment! Does equal opportunity for all Americans apply to AsAms?

In 2014, SFFA, led by Ed Blum, worked with 80-20 to enable the disruption of such a cabal. Now, how many AsAm applicants will be admitted depends on their ability relative to all other applicants. Please go to the top of this page to see the new admissions numbers. 🙂. At least in this arena, AsAms have become the masters of our own destiny.
