Buh? I thought for all extents and purposes Asians were equivalent to white people in law school admissions (at least inside the top 14). Their awesome work ethic doesn’t help them very much on the LSAT which is more intuitive and I’ve read article saying they score slightly lower to “white” applicants for the “affluent” asians and 5 points lower for SouthEast Asians and Filipinos on average.



Slighty lower as in a difference of less than 0.5 in 2004.
