[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charlie, my kid will see you in UMD. Similar stats...+ he is Asian American male like you too.   Congrats on getting UMD because all of you high stat Asian-American kids have made it a powerhouse where STEM majors are concerned.  Will you be super successful in life? Absolutely.

Both of you keep safe and remember this is the beginning of your life and yes, the racism inherent in college and work place was not just something your parents faced. USA is not even pretending to be egalitarian and fair.  [/quote]

Umd is a great education but that is ridiculous to say that this student could not have had many more acceptances if his application list had been more realistic.[/quote]

If he is going for CS or Engineering...he made the right choice to go in-state (I am guessing here that he is an MD student) because how highly ranked UMD is for these two majors.   Try for Ivies and know that it is a crapshoot and then also apply in-state for MD and get a free education.  Well done, Charlie!

And no point in doing majors that does not get you a high paying job.  He maximized his education dollars.  Good for him. And while this was put in tiktok by him, I can bet that he was very aware that while he was an Ivy-level  kid who was going to UMD, he was always going to be successful.  Regardless of if Ivy rejected him because of racism, this kid is going to UMD with the best credentials. That is a mark of the candidate.  I say this is Harvard's loss.

I also think that it is about time that the Asian-Americans realize the kinds of racism they are facing in USA. This is a valuable lesson for Charlie and my kid.  Watch, experience and learn the reality of this country and society.  [/quote]

Quit with the whining already. All those Ivies are private schools. You are not owed a place there. [/quote]

Oh shut up and go and parent your worthless kids! [/quote]
