Can anyone suggest what "CJer" is short for in "AA CJer"? It apparently is used to refer to Asian American pre-med type students, but I'm curious was the CJer part is.

There's a comment here from someone trying (probably unsuccessfully) to answer this same question: https://althouse.blogspot.com/2023/03/a-federal-official-wro...

I can't find anything about this term with a web search, and currently suspect it might be a typo.

Seems to stand for “Joint Concentration”, where a concentration is what Harvard calls a major.

But why CJ and not JC?
