Unlike Sean Connery’s career, we’re on an upward trajectory!

Everyone knows that the best schools are the ones where the Jews, Asians, and Indians go. Schools where these populations are declining are schools that are in decline and schools where these populations are rising are the places to be. You can’t go wrong with Jews, Asians, and Indians.

JAT, you’re an idiot. Jews, Asians, and Indians read USNWR just like everyone else.

You realize that the Asian and Jewish populations at most Ivy League schools are far lower than they could/should be due to reverse affirmative action, right? They’re not declining- they’re being capped as the qualified applicant pool continues to explode.

Are you proposing that a great injustice is being dealt to the people India? China and India have a combined population 2.5 billion people, more than 8 times the U.S. population, and their respective cultures hold American education in high esteem. If the Ivies supplanted America’s own top 10 percent for the top ten of these countries they would become nothing more than Asian boarding schools (we’re talking an 8 to 1 Asian/American student ratio). You have truly become indoctrinated into American culture, because you are blinded by your own sense of entitlement.

in case you missed it, the subtext is that America is under no obligation to educate the rest of the world.

Unfortuntaly Asians’ “superior intelligence” stems from an extreme work-life imbalance and intense parents that Asians. The Ivy league trains america’s future leaders, not bookworms. Being successful is more than just acing an exam…

The point is that were the Ivy League to accept the most qualified students available, as it should, it would be predominantly Asian and Jewish. Now I’m neither of those things, but I’m a big advocate of survival of the fittest. American high schoolers would have to adapt or die. I’m not sure how advocating the admission of qualified foreigners over potentially less-qualified American citizens makes me blinded and entitled. Quite the opposite, really.

@^^^&btw Nice to see that when someone mentions Jews, Asians, and Indians you automatically think “foreigner.” Good job. Considering that international enrollment (you know, outside the US) in the Ivies is around 10% all these rest of these Jews, Asians, Indians must be, let’s say, closer to home.

Nevertheless, while I’m too lazy to do it myself, I strongly suspect that if a JAI (Jewish,Asian, Indian) index were applied to the schools on the above list, we would get our “overrated” and “underrated” schools.

Stop being such a contrarian asshat. If you read the initial post by ^^^ you’ll see that we were talking about the specific COUNTRIES of China and India in terms of population and education… and therefore the Asians and Indians in question would indeed be foreigners. I was simply including the Jewish population because the point about certain high-achieving cultures applies there as well. And again, if you would read the bloody thread, you would realize that what I’m getting at is that there would be a lot MORE Asian and Indian internationals if the Ivy League took all the applicants that were qualified, and those are the kids who are the supercharged academics, not necessarily their home-grown cousins (the other 90%). Which is exactly what you were just bitching about.

man, so intense…o_o
