Asians and Asian-Americans make up 4% of the U.S. population…and 20% of the Ivy League. Now find out how they do it. The numbers speak for 18% of Harvard’s population; 25% of Columbia’s; 42% of Berkeley’s; 24% of Stanford’s; 25% of Cornell’s… What are Asian parents doing to start their kids on the road to academic excellence at an early age? What can all parents do to help their children ace tests, strive to achieve, and reach educational goals? In this book, two sisters-a doctor and a lawyer whose parents came from South Korea to the U.S. with two
hundred dollars in their pockets-reveal the practices that lead Asian-Americans to academic, professional, and personal success.
