There is one huge factor this article is overlooking: Do Asian-American students take more SAT training than other students. In China and Taiwan there are strong traditions of after school "school" where student basically go to another school to train for tests like the SAT or to study their regular class work in order to get ahead.

If it is true that Asian-Americans take this kind of SAT training more often than others then their SAT scores may be higher then the level of the rest of their application. In other words they might be getting A+ SATs but the rest of their applications may only be B+s. The SAT is not the only factor.
