Asians Penalized 50 Points On SAT – Black Students Given 230 Bonus Points… and Dreamers receive 185 points added to SAT scores.

---

Don’t let your jaw drop too far, this fundamental change is not just
happening in college application processes. This exact same methodology is also being applied to Credit Scores for home mortgages and car loans.

In a windowless classroom at an Arcadia tutoring center, parents crammed
into child-sized desks and dug through their pockets and purses for pens as Ann Lee launches a PowerPoint presentation.

Her primer on college admissions begins with the basics: application
deadlines, the relative virtues of the SAT versus the ACT and how many
Advanced Placement tests to take.

Then she eases into a potentially incendiary topic — one that many
counselors like her have learned they cannot avoid.

“Let’s talk about Asians,” she says.

Lee’s next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by
using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term “bonus” to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant’s race is worth. She points to the first column.

African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says.

She points to the second column.

“Hispanics received a bonus of 185 points.”

The last column draws gasps.

Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points — in other words,
they had to do that much better to win admission.

“Do Asians need higher test scores? Is it harder for Asians to get into
college? The answer is yes,” Lee says.

“Zenme keyi,” one mother hisses in Chinese. How can this be possible?[…]

Lee is the co-founder of HS2 Academy, a college prep business that assumes
that racial bias is a fact of college admissions and counsels students
accordingly. At 10 centers across the state, the academy’s counselors teach countermeasures to Asian American applicants. The goal, Lee says, is to
help prospective college students avoid coming off like another “cookie-
cutter Asian.”

“Everyone is in orchestra and plays piano,” Lee says. “Everyone plays
tennis. Everyone wants to be a doctor, and write about immigrating to
America. You can’t get in with these cliche applications.”[…]

Complaints about bias in college admissions have persisted since at least
the 1920s, when a Harvard University president tried to cap the number of
Jewish students. In November, a group called Students for Fair Admissions
filed a suit against Harvard University for admissions policies that
allegedly discriminate against Asian Americans. The group cited the 2004
Princeton study and other sources that offer statistics about Asian
Americans’ test performance. (read more)
