Discusses the increasing presence of Asians in higher education, their domination of the very top of Scholastic Aptitude Test ranks, and why these circumstances may cause racial conservatives to rethink advocating race-blind college admissions. Asian dominance in admissions at the most prestigious universities in the United States and how some universities are responding are examined. (GR)
