[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]😆😆😆😆 You do realize being white or Asian is both a disadvantage? [/quote]
OP here.

My husband said exactly this (are you him, ha!) and I’ll tell you what I told him.

If you look at all the data that has been released, it’s clear that Asians are at more of a disadvantage than whites. The magnitude varies, but it’s always greater than whites. [/quote]

You're Asian, not white.  Do you think we're idiots?[/quote]
OP here. Why would I post this if I was Asian?[/quote]

Stop it, you two. Race has no bearing on this.

Your kid was found wanting. The GPA is borderline, so I'm guessing the rest of the application failed to compensate. Maybe essays were non-specific. Maybe the extra-curriculars were generalist and scattered. I notice you don't share her test scores, so if she's test-optional, that's the kiss of death.

There's just so much you're not telling us, OP. It's pretty obvious that you did not understand what level of rigor was necessary to get into such places nowadays.

What you mustn't do is beggar your household for an OOS college, unless one comes through with huge merit. She will attend a lower tier in-state and be a big fish in a small pond.
