One way I would conduct an experiment to confirm college discrimination against Asian-American students would be to look at how many Asian-Americans apply to a certain college, and see how many are accepted into the said school. Then compare the high school GPAs and SAT scores of the accepted Asian-American students to the non Asian-American students. Then compare the high school GPAs and SAT scores of the Asian-Americans who were not accepted into said college to the GPAs and Sat scores of the non Asian-American s accepted into the school. If the college is discriminating against Asian-Americans, then the data will show that the scores and GPAs of the accepted Asian-Americans will have similar scores and high school GPAs to the accepted non Asian-Americans. The data will also show that the Asian-Americans who were not accepted into the college were much more qualified than the non Asian-American students. I agree with the article that Asian-Americans are treated unfairly when it comes to being accepted into college. “It’s not sufficient to earn near-perfect grades and test scores, or to excel at a musical instrument, or to win a science-fair contest. Asian-American applicants do all those things, in droves. But our elite universities don’t want too much of a good thing, if it all comes from the same racial group.” This is extremely unfair. Colleges are supposed to want the best of the best. If a student is one of the best and happens to be Asian, why should they be turned away? Colleges shouldn’t accept a student because of their race or where they live. They should be accepted for their grades and talent.
