<p>I’d believe there is an Asian bias. Maybe not about ethnicities per se but about being too similar to too many other applicants (separate from ethnicity). You don’t have to spend too long on EC to discover clusters of similar profiles. Thus I’d venture to guess that most perfect SAT, math award winning, chess club playing, accomplished pianists from NJ are more likely to be rejected from Princeton, regardless of what their last name happens to be. Likewise, if he was applicant with a perfect SAT from Wyoming, who was a champion wrestler, did stand up comedy, and started his own lucrative landscaping business, and was Asian, he’d be in.</p>
