    Using these population ratios, we can easily extrapolate the total number of national NMS Semifinalists for each of these groups, and thereby obtain national percentage estimates.

    Further evidence is supplied by Weyl, who estimated that over 8 percent of the 1987 NMS Semifinalists were Jewish, 60 a figure 35 percent higher than found in today's results.

    First, we must recognize that the 300 applicants admitted by straight merit would be an exceptionally select group, representing just the top 2 percent of America's 16,000 NMS Semifinalists.

    The first stage of the process involves the identification of some 16,000 NMS Semifinalists based on their Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test(PSAT) scores, with state totals apportioned according to the numbers of high school seniors.

    I changed my mind earlier this month, when Buick didn't send an Envision to the North American Car of the Year jury's test of Semifinalists for the car, truck and utility vehicle of the year awards.

    Just as we might expect, the 2011 roster of New York NMS Semifinalists is disproportionately filled with Jewish names, constituting about 21 percent of the total, a ratio twice as high as for any other state whose figures are available.

    Earlier we had noted that the tests used to select NMS Semifinalists actually tilted substantially against Asian students by double-weighting verbal skills and excluding visuospatial ability, but in the case of Jews this same testing-bias has exactly the opposite impact.

    Consider the ratio of the recent 2007- 2011 enrollment of Asian students at Harvard relative to their estimated share of America's recent NMS Semifinalists, a reasonable proxy for the high-ability college-age population, and compare this result to the corresponding figure for whites.

    Moreover, in that period the math and verbal scores were weighted equally for qualification purposes, but after 1997 the verbal score was double-weighted,[61] which should have produced a large rise in the number of Jewish Semifinalists, given the verbal-loading of Jewish ability.

    Thus, although California provides nearly 1,200 Asian Semifinalists, that figure would surely be much higher if there were a uniform national qualification threshold, so our national estimates of the Asian percentage of high-ability students probably represent a significant underestimate of the true figure.

    Each year, the NMS Corporation distributes the names and schools of these Semifinalists for each state, and dozens of these listings have been tracked down and linked on the Internet by determined activists, who have then sometimes estimated the ethnic distribution of the Semifinalists by examining their family names.

    Even leaving aside the language difficulties which students from an immigrant background might face, East Asians tend to be weakest in the verbal category and strongest in the visuospatial, so NMS Semifinalists are being selected by a process which excludes the strongest Asian component and doubles the weight of the weakest.

    Meanwhile, the national number of Jewish Semifinalists comes out at less than 6 percent of the total based on direct inspection of the individual names, with estimates based on either the particularly distinctive names considered by Sailer or the full set of such highly distinctive names used by Weyl yielding entirely consistent figures.

    In Texas, Asians are just 3.8 percent of the population but were over a quarter of the NMS Semifinalists in 2010, while the 2.4 percent of Florida Asians provided between 10 percent and 16 percent of the top students in the six years from 2008 to 2013 for which I have been able to obtain the NMS lists.

    The recent percentage of Asian NMS Semifinalists in California has ranged between 55 percent and 60 percent, while for the rest of America the figure is probably closer to 20 percent, so an overall elite-campus UC Asian-American enrollment of around 40 percent seems reasonably close to what a fully meritocratic admissions system might be expected to produce.
