I recently read that Asian-Americans need a 1550 SAT (on the 1600 math/verbal scale) to have an equal chance of getting in to an elite college as a Black student with a score of 1100, according to Thomas Espenshade, Princeton sociologist. White students are similarly discriminated against in favor of blacks and Hispanics.

If a college or university wants to raise its average freshmen SAT scores, it admits more Asian-Americans. If it wants diversity, it admits more blacks. (Take for example, Amherst: 13% Asian-American, 13% black, and 13% Hispanic. Dartmouth: 19% Asian-American, 5% black, 5% Hispanic. Yale is somewhere in-between).

What is going on?

What ever happened to the principle of merit (hard work + intelligence + dedication) without regard for the color of one's skin or the shape of one's eyes?

Too many Asian-Americans? Limit their numbers. Not so different from when Chinese-Americans were intentionally discouraged from coming to the U.S. in the mid 19th and early 20th century.

I was wait-listed at the undergraduate college but at least I never felt that I was being passed over because they wanted the space to go to an African-American with an academic record distinctly inferior to my own. But that was a long time ago. Now there are actual caps in place, which institutions of higher education refuse to make public.

Yale and other elite institutions (especially Amherst) continue intractably to discriminate. I bet the Obama daughters would still be considered among the group of "disadvantaged minorities" at Yale.

I used to be very impressed by all the neo-Gothic (early 20th century collegiate Gothic revival) architecture at Yale but having taken a degree in art history, less so. Go to Oxbridge for the real thing (500 years older)!

Penn (and sometimes Brown) used to be considered the "armpit of the Ivy League," but Yale, being surrounded by the city of New Haven, actually deserves the crown.
