[quote=Anonymous]The TJ student who got in is Indian-American and a standout student even in TJ. She was smart to apply to all 8 Ivy schools because we know that the admissions criteria for Asians is more stringent than any other racial group. There is no Affirmative Action for Asians. Considering that both parents are engineers from Bangalore - she probably had the finances to apply to multiple colleges, which she did. While I applaud her getting into all the colleges she applied to (14 in all) - I did feel disheartened as an Asian parent, to see how much our brightest Asian students have to hedge their bets. Now that she has the options, she can decide where to go. The colleges think that she is a good student to add to their student body, now she has to decide which college is the best match for her. Academically, she can nail it where ever she goes. [/quote]
