Asians would lose share? That goes against everything I have read on this

I'm guessing that Asian students benefit from GPA as well as SAT scores, whereas many high-scoring SAT white kids don't always have the highest GPA.

I say this because of the Asian work ethic that rewards rote assignment fulfillment, whereas high-intelligence white males, especially, are more motivated by intrinsic learning than extrinsic demands such as grades.

No, there are definitely more Asian students who would for example be accepted to Harvard if they went by straight SATs—both higher overall scores for the Asians and more Asians at the Ivy-level high end.
