<p>I’m merely giving you the benefit of the doubt since so much of your putative Supreme Court suit will be based on the idea that URMs are taking seats away from Asians with similar scores, I just thought it was natural that putting more low-scoring Asians in their place was part of your intent. Pardon me for being logical. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What part of that is a strawman?</p>
<p>But you know what John, if you want me to talk about White racism, I will. It is clearly evident in the attitude of the mostly white AdComs who think that Asians are textureless math grinds without leadership potential. However, there may be another explanation. In all likelihood these AdComs were extremely poor in math, and are just taking it out on the kids who are good at it. Regardless, these people need some exposure to Asians and their culture and perspective. And be forced to take SAT Math I and II, and fired from their jobs if they can’t score 750+.</p>
<p>^^As others have pointed out, the most logical way around that is for more Asians to go into the Adcom business. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>gag IP. You are turning out to be that textureless math grind. According to you the world would be so much better/more fair if everyone could just have higher math SAT scores. Then, they could all see the beauty of tiger parenting.</p>
<p>Excuse me while I vomit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sorry John not enough money and prestige for people with such high math scores!</p>
<p>
I’ll be happy to hold your hair back and hold the barf bag for you, limabeans.</p>
<p>Actually, I think IndianParent probably has a point about the composition of admissions committees. My impression is they are comprised mostly of graduates of that Ivy or others with degrees in fields that don’t really segue into lucrative employment - many humanities and social science types – and likely not many math/science types. That is an interesting point.</p>
<p>Reverse the table - what if most of the committee was comprised of engineers. Do you think there might be a tendency on their part to view humanities oriented applicants as sort of one-dimensional after awhile, and unconsciously impose a quota?</p>
<p>Oh, and let’s please have some civility on here. Those who resort to the insults don’t help along their argument in the slightest.</p>
<p>^^^Again, only HYPSM have the luxury of rejecting large numbers of STEM students. I don’t know of a single NESCAC college that doesn’t want more.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In future, ask me what my intent is before putting words in my mouth. This is not a cross examination with a low-IQ witness.</p>
<p>
Any evidence to support this speculative hypothesis?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would be equally offended if someone with a phobia for English literature was calling people who want to major in Victorian poetry as textureless poetry delusionals.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Any evidence to support the speculative hypothesis made by AdComs that Asians, or STEM majors, are textureless math grinds? I don’t see anyone challenging that. I thought LA education was supposed to broaden minds?</p>
<p>^Nice dodge. And what makes someone intersted in victorian poetry “delusional”?</p>
<p>John, nice job taking out the part of your quote that I found to be a strawman.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It doesn’t, that’s the point. I think poetry, literature, arts, music, all of these are wonderful, wonderful things that make human life so much better. While I do not have a formal training in any of these, I am an autodidact, and it has added much to the quality of my life. I would never denigrate those. </p>
<p>Similarly, I would expect that people who got a non-STEM training wouldn’t denigrate STEM either. It is common courtesy. STEM has made human life much better as well.</p>
<p>I am a regularly published poet myself (not in English). But I am also enamored with math.</p>
<p>You still dodged my original question. Please answer, and not with another question.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was indeed my bad, and I apologize to the group.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only one evidence. People who are good in math don’t consider math lacking in texture, or being a grind. They find math to be a beautiful thing instead.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Absolutely. Being surrounded by STEM majors in my life I routinely see a tendency to look down upon humanities oriented subjects. I always, always protest.</p>
<p>This was your WHOLE statement.
Aside from your opinion about math and texture (to which I am not sure I agree, but thats an aside), where is there any evidence to support these accusations?</p>
