<p>Maybe I’m tending to side with the argument that bias against Asian kids exists because my own was very “Asian” in his application profile – stats, earnest student, well behaved, not a big athlete, not super popular . . . just a really good student. I think I suspect deep down that if he’d checked the Asian box and his surname was Lin, he would have ended up waitlisted and rejected to a number of places that accepted him.</p>
