This is what happens when the Ivy Leagues have artificial quotas on the number of Asians that can attend.

It's a California thing. My Asian friends were only deferred or denied from California universities, particularly Stanford and Berkley. They had no problem with acceptance from Ivy League schools.

I hope these Dartmouth kids are having fun.

Nice try. Berkeley does not utilize affirmative action. As for privates, it IS the free market after all.

Berkley can say whatever they want. My friend's credentials, references, and connections were peerless. He was deferred because of his last name.

You must realise that when you're dealing with acceptance rates rapidly approaching 5% you're inevitably going to have to cut out some qualified people.

40% of the UC Berkeley student body is Asian. He was insta-accepted everywhere he applied, except Berkeley.

I'm not accusing Berkeley of moral-injustice, but I don't believe the official PR, either.

I was also accepted everywhere I applied except for Yale. Therefore, Yale is racist against black people and is serving the white chauvinist patriarchy.

Yale's African American student body is not 700% higher than the national population rates for African Americans and 300% higher than the Connecticut population rates for African Americans.

You have no reason to assume reverse-racism via quotas. Asians do have reason to assume reverse-racism, and I'm inclined to agree with them regarding Berkeley and several other California schools.
