Penalty for being Asian american?
Even Stanley‘s father acknowledges that there’s not enough facts to determine racism. In the article he claims that universities are turning down over qualified students, and he wants to know why.
DP, but of course he wouldn’t claim it publicly without concrete evidence (yet). But it’s more than likely the case.
The only evidence that would support their claim is if a college used racial quotas-- otherwise, they would have to prove that Stanley was singled out amongst his Asian peers at his high school.
It’s not that hard to do. Just compare a student from the same high school but of a different race. If that student got into a UC but with less impressive credentials(whatever UC defines), we’ll have a conversation of racial discrimination.
UCs do NOT use SAT/ACT scores. So basically it's gpa (he was only 45-50th in his class), ECs, essays and recommendations. Oh, and the acceptance rates at those schools for CS are single digits, even 2-3% for all except UC Davis (it's ~9-10%).
He is arguably brilliant though. Do you not see the problem here?
Knowing Gunn well (the hs he attended in Palo Alto), this person is probably not brilliant. There are brilliant kids there though, which probably does hurt in terms of recommendations and EC leadership opportunities.
He is probably great at coding and algorithms though. That is the key differentiator between L3/4 at Google.
