Holistic review is a flexible, individualized way of assessing an applicant's capabilities by which balanced consideration is given to experiences, attributes, and academic metrics and, when considered in combination, how the individual might contribute value as a student and community member during and after college.

综合审核体系通过均衡地考查学生的经验、特性、标化成绩来评估申请者的能力，并且考查申请者在大学期间/毕业后，作为学生/社区成员能否贡献价值，这是一种具有灵活性、个性化的审核方式。

 亚裔美国学生(All Asian Americans)申请大学是否有受到不公平待遇的主题演讲 ▼

Admissions office study in the 1980s “found that comparably qualified [unhooked] white applications were 'significantly' more likely to be admitted than their Asian counterparts.”

【译文】

20世纪80年代招生办研究发现，与亚洲申请者相比，那些具有同等资质的白人申请者被录取的几率要大得多。

Princeton's director of admissions in 1988 averred that “many Asian-American families encouraged their children to concentrate on academics, and that Princeton's emphasis on 'energy level outside the class, or taking part inactivities…has turned out for many Asian-American students to be a handicap. '”

【译文】

1988年普林斯顿大学招生主任断言：“许多亚裔美国家庭鼓励孩子多专注于学术，而普林斯顿招生官强调的却是课堂外体能水平，或者是参加一些活动…结果这却成为亚裔美国学生申请的一大障碍”

 1976-2011年间，美国本科种族录取趋势（不分学院） ▼

深蓝：白人

浅蓝：非裔美国人

红色：拉丁美洲人

绿色：亚太裔

橙色：美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加土著

可以看出来，近几年白人录取率在下降，亚太裔录取率基本保持在6.5%左右。

 很多人会问亚裔美国学生申请美国大学有没有受到不公平待遇或偏见？大家来看看这张下面这张图▼ 

有或没有？亚裔小孩普遍给人成绩好、SAT分数高、数学好的刻板印象，有时还不爱参与校园活动...

BuzzFeed(19 May 2017):“Princeton's admissions officers repeatedly wrote of Asian-American applications as being difficult to differentiate, referring to them dismissively as having 'very familiar profiles', calling them 'standard premeds, ' or 'difficult to pluck out. '”

【译文】

BuzzFeed（2017年5月19日）：“普林斯顿大学招生官多次写道：亚裔美国申请者很难区分，招生官轻蔑地表示‘个人信息太相似’，称之为‘标准的医学预科生’，或者 ‘太难挑选’”

Almost certainly no institutionalized racism, but almost as certainly there could be discrimination at the level of the application reader or the letter writer.

-Do you believe that a college can have “too many Asians”?

-Are you using “Asianisms”(Asian stereotypes) in your letters of rec or applicant file notes?

“She's very outgoing for an Asian.” “Like many Asians, he wants to be a doctor.” “Good at math but that's to be expected.”

Substitute white for Asian. If it sounds weird, it's an Asianism. Don't use it.

【译文】

几乎可以肯定的是，根本没有什么制度化种族歧视，但可以肯定的是，申请材料审阅者或是推荐信撰写者多少有那么一点儿歧视。

-你认为大学里“亚洲人太多”了吗？

-你在推荐信里/申请者信息里用了太多“亚洲人的刻板印象”吗？

“作为一个亚洲人，她很开朗。”“和很多亚洲人一样，他想做个医生”“意料之中的，TA数学很好”

还有用white代替Asian，听起来有些奇怪，但这就是亚洲人的刻板印象，别这么做。
