Using data from five application cycles, with the first in 2015–2016, we estimate that Asian American applicants are, on average, less likely to be admitted to any of these schools than white applicants with similar test scores. There is substantial heterogeneity across subgroups.

South Asian students are impacted more heavily than East and Southeast Asian students. South Asians have 49% lower estimated odds of admission than white students with similar test scores and extracurriculars, with 17% lower odds for East and Southeast Asians.
