According to foreign media reports, an organization representing Asian American students analyzed the files of over 160,000 students and submitted an analysis report this Friday as part of a lawsuit against Harvard University. According to this report, Harvard has consistently given Asian American applicants lower scores than applicants of other ethnicities in personality traits such as "positive personality," likability, courage, kindness, and being "widely respected."
The organization, which opposes all race-based admissions criteria, commissioned this analysis, which shows that Asian American students score higher than applicants of other ethnicities in admissions metrics such as test scores, grades, and extracurricular activities. However, the analysis also found that the personality scores of Asian students significantly lowered their chances of admission.
Harvard University is one of the most popular and difficult universities to get into in the United States, admitting only 4.6% of applicants this year. This has fueled curiosity about Harvard's strictly confidential admissions process. Harvard fought fiercely for months to avoid releasing the materials disclosed this Friday.
During the admissions process, Harvard University evaluates applicants in five categories: "academics," "extracurriculars," "athletics," "personality," and "overall." Ratings range from 1 to 6, with 1 being the best.
According to the plaintiff's analysis report, white applicants received higher personality ratings than Asian applicants, with 21.3% of white applicants receiving a rating of 1 or 2, compared to only 17.6% of Asian applicants.
Harvard University officials acknowledged that an internal investigation by the university in 2013 found that if admissions were based solely on academic performance, the proportion of Asian students would rise from the actual 19% to 43%. When factoring in Harvard's preference for athletes and children of alumni, the proportion of white students increases, and the proportion of Asian students drops to 31%. When further accounting for extracurricular activities and personality scores, the proportion of white students rises further, and the proportion of Asian students drops to 26%.
Harvard University's website shows that among the Class of 2021, 14.6% were African American, 22.2% were Asian American, 11.6% were Hispanic, and 2.5% were Native American and Pacific Islander.
Worldway Immigration experts state that the United States is a powerful nation in education with numerous prestigious universities and top-tier educational quality, making it a primary destination for many students and families for study abroad and immigration. In recent years, "immigrating before studying abroad" has become a new trend. If one obtains a U.S. Green Card before studying abroad, children will enjoy many "invisible benefits" in school selection, internships, employment, and other aspects. With no requirements for business management background, age, education level, or English proficiency, and allowing the whole family to immigrate through a single investment, the EB-5 investment immigration program, with its low threshold and high cost-effectiveness, has become the mainstream way for Chinese people to immigrate to the United States.
Currently, Worldway's three highly popular EB-5 projects in the market—the No. 9 Manhattan Luxury Boutique Hotel and Dallas No. 1—are rare, high-quality projects.
