Do law schools treat all Asian groups the same?

Post by cesium » Mon Mar 03, 2014 8:10 pm

Certain ethnicities, such as Koreans, are over-represented in law schools (and other graduate programs), whereas some other groups, such as Cambodians and Hmong, are under-represented due to historical and socioeconomic factors.

I've seen anecdotal evidence to believe that Vietnamese immigrants have some kind of advantage. Either that or they've all told compelling stories to significantly out-perform their numbers.
