[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if it were racism of the "they all look alike" variety (which, I agree, exists in admissions at highly selective colleges), then the odds of him being rejected at 30 different schools would be very slim. If, from an admissions POV, he's interchangeable with a host of other Asian kids applying, then presumably, with that many different apps, he'd be among the chosen occasionally. The fact that he *never* was does suggest that there's something about his application that consistently makes him look less attractive than other applicants with similar profiles. Could be his essays, which no one posting here has seen; could be his recs which he probably hasn't even seen.[/quote]
