[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unlikely the kid took SAT in China before high school and used it for college admissions and there was a huge SAT scandal involving bunch of white kids in New York state few years ago where kids were paid to take the SAT for other students.

Exchange students usually come to the US for a year or two, so he may have completed 1-2 years of HS.[/quote]l

May, might, coulda.  He did all four here. [/quote]

No one but the student and the admissions officers know what is in any particular student's application. Something was going on with this kid's application that 30 different sets of admissions officers decided to send him a "We regret to inform you..." letter.  My guess would be something with the essays, either the writing quality or the subject.

Lots of Asian kids get accepted to lots of different colleges, so I highly doubt that 30 different schools decided to turn down this one kid solely because he is Asian. There's something else going on there.

Yes. He checked Asian.  Signed - White Chick.[/quote]

Then why do so many other kids who are Asian and have checked Asian get accepted at these same schools? Why did 30 schools all pick this one kid to reject just because he is Asian and for no other reason?
