Princeton University admissions officers wrote of Asian applicants as having 'very familiar profiles' and that they were difficult to differentiate

The Daily Mail reports:
Admission officers at Princeton University once noted that some American-Asian applicants were difficult to differentiate because of their 'very familiar profiles' and wrote that the potential students were 'standard premeds'.

The comments were highlighted by federal investigators as part of a probe into allegations of racial bias within the Ivy League school's admissions system several years ago.

While the seven-year investigation into its admissions practices was closed and the university was found not to have discriminated based on race, the documents highlighting the comments - some of which have been obtained by Buzzfeed - now form part of an ongoing legal battle.
Princeton: where Asians' grades, test scores, and activities aren't worth as much as some virtuous victim groups. No 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution for you!
