[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no skin in this game yet but will soon.  Truthfully, I think in today’s political climate within Top Tier colleges and universities being a white or Asian male is going to seriously erode your chances no matter what your grades, test scores, accomplishments, etc. Coming from a Top Tier private high school is soon going to be passé.

These schools are looking for diversity and equity on campus. They need to follow the new fashionable liberal and woke ideologies on that higher education is embracing. You are going to see fewer and fewer upper middle  class high star white and Asian acceptance.   Only the Uber connected will get admitted.  It is time to start preparing our kids that it is a different world and they need to have back up plans and to be self reliant.  Times are about to get tough for kids who thought merit counted.  Because it doesn’t anymore. Merit is considered entitled. [/quote]

I mean, it isn’t new that Asian kids are disadvantaged in admissions at top schools. The joke at my high school was that Asian kids had 100 points deducted from their SAT scores. [/quote]

No it isn’t new but it is only going to get worse.  Columbia is having multiple graduations to shield special kids from the evils of the white straight population on campus.  I think that is a huge sign of where we are fast headed. I am not starting a political conversation here, just stating the obvious. (Go to the politics forum for that).  Meritocracy are white /Asian (though Asians are finally getting some love) are considered a dirty words right now especially on elite college campuses. Seriously, prepare your hard worker to blaze his own path. That is what I am doing with my kids.  Prepare them to be resilient problem solving entrepreneurs. [/quote]
