As you sit in the wood paneled admissions office awaiting your tour, I recommend you leaf through the old yearbooks. I couldn't help notice a pattern. Every class had the 2 Chinese kids, the 2 Indian kids, the 1 African-American kid, and maybe the 1 Hispanic kid. I can only conclude there is a certain template for each class. Thus your kid isn't competing for one of 30 slots, she's competing for the 1 slot for an asian girl. Currently even the ivy league discriminates against asians. In smaller private schools that aren't as high profile, they can get away with even more bias.
