Sadly I dont even follow the article, its jumble mumble.
>Harvard admissions evaluators -- staffers who are likely under pressure to deliver a target mix of ethnicities each year -- rate Asian-American applicants far lower on subjective personality traits than do alumni interviewers who actually meet the applicants.
How da fuck do you get to this conclusion with:

If you can figure out the "intent" with just modeling then you're a genius or in the real world you're just making shit up. At the best you could see some trends, but what I can see that is the statistics is not an exact science and if you fudge the numbers well enough you can prove any point.
