[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who keep saying his son would have been admitted anyway, you should look at the statistics for Asian students who are accepted and rejected by Harvard.  Having close to a 4.0 gpa and near-perfect SATs might guarantee acceptance for some ethnicities, but not for Asians.

*1000. I know of an Asian TJ grad with perfect gpa (4.0 unweighted which is extremely tough at TJ and probably top 1%  and around 4.6 weighted), 2,390 SAT, Presidential Scholar nominee, NM Scholar, ton of leadership positions, lot of volunteering, extensive research, prestigious internship over the summer, TV show appearance, scholastic writing award, chemistry Olympiad finals, etc. etc. [b]and was rejected by Harvard due to no legacy, no connection, no donation, seeking financial aid (not full pay) etc.[/b]  Completely rigged.   [/quote]

Wait a minute. How do you know it was due to that? [/quote]

Because there were other grads who gained admissions (with significantly lower stats openly talking about their "connections" whether it was parents knowing the "right" people or people at Harvard etc.) with few URMs getting admitted as well. Basically, being an Asian American applicant with no hooks and seeking FA is the worst situation and it will be virtually impossible to gain admission even with better credentials than most admitted students.[/quote]

+1 I have seen Asian students with far better stats, extracurriculars and leadership positions get rejected from schools that weaker white peers have gotten into.[/quote]

Whites often act as if they are the most ethical group but they are really crooked inside. The college admission for the top 25+ schools have become so corrupted and out of control (by whites who are in charge of admissions office, athletic programs, psychologists who readily "sell" LD diagnosis, professional SAT takers, professional essay writers for money, creating "Z" list, making "legal bribes" for admission etc.)

We need to eliminate, legacy, special treatment of athletes, preference for donors, discrimination for financial aid applicants in admissions, racial discrimination in admissions (AA), all of them. [/quote]
