For tech disciplines, Asian boys from top high schools face higher bars to enter MIT (of any top uni)

• Dilip told me an Asian family with a brother/sister, about same academic standard. Brother couldn’t get into Stanford but the sister easily got in, because there are so few girls apply to that department.
• Also, there are too many Asians in some of the top universities so the admission office decide to raise the bar for Asian applicants.
• I heard from many colleagues that admission office look at not only absolute score, but also ranking within the high school. They could accept a #1 student from average school but reject a 10th percentile student in a top-rated high school, even though the #1 student scored much lower in a national standardized test like SAT. Many Asian parents complained about this.
