Does Harvard (or other Ivy Leagues) have a quota for Asian applicants?

<p>Universities like Harvard want their students to experience learning, living, eating, socializing and recreating with other students of all races. That is part of the “education” they are offering. The reason is obvious: We live in a country and world of many races, so they want you to graduate and be able to work for, work with and hire people of all races, as well as socialize with, include and understand every race and culture in your world. It makes you a better person. </p>

<p>If you think you can do this without ever having spent time with any of those people, then you are mostly likely wrong. Don’t overanalyze the reason for AA, i.e., socioeconomic reasons or righting past wrongs. All of the students Harvard admits are qualified to do the work and graduate. The stats prove it.</p>
