The irony of your whining is it sounds like you were discriminated against in favor of your younger brother.  I hope you a wise enough not to make such an allegation in the sanctity of your own family!  You may not be a stronger or more successful student than your brother over the long haul.  Success or brilliance is not measured simply by minor variations in SAT scores or GPAs.  With maturity you will learn this lesson in due time.

Wasn't really whinging but more accurately I wanted to just share my experiences to the OP, being a fellow Asian American. I'm really proud of my younger sibling and he's extremely grateful for my advice on how to be the strongest applicant possible with the current system that is in place at most schools. Regardless, it doesn't matter now as I'm successful and happy with my path and it has all worked out.

I never said I felt discriminated in favour of him. The only bitterness (albeit small) that I have was that I did not know the nuances of elite private college admissions when I was going through the process and no one really told me (we did not grow up in an area with many asians in it). However I was able to impart that knowledge for my brother and so when a follow Asian/Indian-American asks, I try to give my two cents so they are more informed than I was during my cycle. [/quote]
