Harvard consistently rated Asian-American applicants lower than any other race on personal traits like “positive personality,” likability, courage, kindness and being “widely respected,” according to an analysis of more than 160,000 student records filed Friday in federal court in Boston by a group representing Asian-American students in a lawsuit against the university.
Asian-Americans scored higher than applicants of any other racial or ethnic group on admissions measures like test scores, grades and extracurricular activities, according to the analysis commissioned by a group that opposes all race-based admissions criteria. But the students’ personal ratings significantly dragged down their chances of being admitted, the analysis found.
So, according to Harvard, it’s not that they are holding back hardworking Asian applicants using vague personal traits, it’s just that so many otherwise talented Asian applicants aren’t likable, courageous, kind, or respected. Wow, okay, Harvard. Are you sure you want to go with that?
