[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder whether the people suggesting this Asian candidate is a "dime a dozen" can actually point to very many Black or Hispanic students with similar credentials applying to the same schools.

But I can't feel too sorry for this kid because Georgia Tech is a very good school and likely to be more rigorous than one of the Ivies caught up in the diversity Olympics and diluting their reputations. [/quote]

Real talent will flow to the research powerhouses like GA tech. Actually Indian Americans have valued these schools for a long time. Im Indian American but went into liberal arts. Doing just fine, but throwing it out there in case people feel a need to stereotype. [/quote]

These kids and their families want Ivies for the brand name not for the intellectual breadth of possibilities they offer. Why not just focus on the Tech schools, which are very impressive in their own right and offer the focus they actually want?[/quote]

This is a good point. [/quote]

VTech’s admissions priorities have undergone a massive shift.  Not every family can afford OOS GTech.[/quote]

You know OOS GTech cost is close to [b]in-state[/b] UVA Eng cost right?[/quote]
