<p>What happens at UChicago may depend on how the college responds to demographic trends in the US. If UChicago does what the Ivies have unfortunately done and tries to cap its Asian admit rate, then it will be playing the same game like the Ivies and may not do very well. If on the other hand, UChicago, bucks the Ivy trend and goes the way of Caltech and admits as many qualified Asians without any artificial caps, in 15-20 years, it would have snagged some of the best students at the expense of the Ivies and that will eventually start showing in the “alum success rates”, “endowments”, “prestige” and so on. </p>
<p>So the question is “Will UChicago, have the courage to let its Asian population rise to 40% or even 50% if the demographics and admission data demand it?” Or will it play the Harvard, Yale, Princeton game? I feel that the school that races ahead and embraces the new demographics in the US first, will reap huge rewards in 10-15 years</p>
