I’m sure many people have seen average SAT data by broad racial group (Asian/Hispanic/White/Black), but this is the first time I’ve found average SAT data by race that broke down average scores by sub-ethnicity as well (e.g. China/India/Philippines/etc. for Asian). The original dataset is from the Common App, which makes sense, because I remember selecting a subcategory for my race (Asian, but I won’t say which one because it’s one of the smaller ones) when applying to college. I found it very interesting to see the differences within each category.
There are two images. Make sure to check out the second!
This is what Vivek Ramaswamy is talking about when he says America “venerates a culture of mediocrity”. There are certain cultures (read: Korean, Indian, and Chinese) that truly value academic excellence, and we should try to learn from them.
