Other than the fact that these admitted female applications have outstanding track records, another contributing factor, I suspect, is that both female and Chinese are considered minority, so by admitting a Chinese female, Wharton is able to kill two birds with one stone. Hence, the school can make room to accept more white Americans. Why more white Americans you ask? I don't have the actual data, but I do believe American alumni makes much higher amount of contribution/donation back to the schools, compare to their international counterparts. I think, this is due to the tax incentives in US and cultural differences. |
