It's partly location. Asian-Americans are more heavily concentrated on the West Coast (hence Caltech and UC's high Asian admissions). Jews are more heavily concentrated on the East Coast (hence Harvard, Yale and Columbia's high Jewish admissions).
- DocSavage 11y agoAlthough I agree there is a strong test/race bias at Stanford and Harvard, I'd also like to see the numbers on admission, not just enrollment. Cultural background may strongly influence your choice of where to go: CalTech vs Stanford, MIT vs Harvard. Compared to Asian families, Jewish people may want an undergrad education more aligned with law and humanities than very tech schools.
