[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you all even looked at the way Harvard discriminated against Asians?  It was just on test scores.  The 'holistic' process docked Asian students because they probably were 'going to study too much', weren't funny, were quiet, or filled any sort of stereotypical Asian personality. Basically, Asians are penalized for probably going to 'not being able to keep it real'.

It is racist discrimination, period. That's why I'd never send my kind to a 2nd tier university like Harvard.[/quote]

That’s great!  Another kid will happily take their spot. There are a lot of Asian kids at Harvard ( and at all elite universities) so your kid will not be missed. Some of the alumni comments may be racist, some may be sexist, some may be homophobic but they actually have a great mixture of happy students that do well in life. Harvard will be just fine and has done a great job of picking their class. Unfortunately some kids of every race and sex don’t get in. Glad you don’t want your kid to go and hope some of these bitter Asian parents are able to move on. Everyone else whose kid does not get in celebrates where they do without this bitterness. It’s not a right based on one particular gpa, test or activity. Sometimes kids get rejected. [/quote]

Sometimes kids get rejected.  Sometimes kids get rejected because of their race.  The latter is not ok and it’s happening to Asians at elite universities on a daily basis.  But as long as Spencer and Kimberly continue to get in on their legacy preferences, schools are happy to tout their “holistic” admissions. [/quote]
