<p>Based on recent figures, I think the statement “the Ivies still have less than 20% of their class as Asian” is significantly inaccurate. For recent classes, I think the figure is well above 20%. I know Harvard, Princeton, and Penn all reported that more than 20% of the enrolled students in their classes of 2016 had self-identified as Asian, and that doesn’t count the sizable number of ethnic Asian kids who refuse to identify themselves as such, or the half (at least) of international students from an ethnic Asian background. The real percentage of Asian students in those classes is probably somewhere between 25% and 30%.</p>
