[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone fighting so hard to get their kids into a "top 30-ish" school?

Less than 5% of college students attend a top 50 college. About 2.4% of college students in the US attend a top 30 college. Roughly 1% attend a "top 20" college. What is the point in fighting to be such a tiny fraction of college students.

What is a [b]striver?[/quote][/b]

It's a racist term used by a lower socio-economic class person to denigrate asian students.[/quote]

I believe that it is more often used by high socio-economic people to describe desperate Asians trying to achieve status within their social circles.[/quote]

Or you could call it smearing term from the jealousy and insecurity about the success others achieve through hard work.[/quote]

Or maybe people don’t appreciate them getting upitty and want them to remember their place.[/quote]

Ha ha ha, this reflects the most in x.com and xhs quite laughable. There are always these silly conflicts. [/quote]
