美国大学录取的process，很多都有学生参与。亚裔学生入校后，也应积极参加这些
process，虽然不用偏袒亚裔申请人，但至少可以维护这个process的公正性。 |

NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Reuters Health) -- Divorce has long-lasting effects on

Presumably because divorce weakens family ties, divorced parents --
especially divorced fathers -- are less likely than widowed parents to have
children who will care for them as they grow old, affecting even informal
caregiving.

However the result is still around 50-50. :)
