> There is only one group of students who are “overrepresented,” to use the chilling language of social engineering, at the university: Asian Americans.

This is partly because of the yield rate of Asian students. This refers to the rate that admitted students choose to attend UC.

White, Black, and Hispanic students all choose to attend UCs at less than 40%. The yield rate for Asian students is 48%.

If Asians had the same yield rate as the other racial groups, their share of UC enrollment would drop from 37% to 31%. This is pretty close to their share of the UC applicant pool, 28%.

This comes from the most recent data available, from 2020. [1]
