[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It doesn't matter, one of mine only took it once, scored 1590 but got waitlisted at all three Ivies he applied to. Everything else was top notch too. Only drawbacks were being Asian and attending a large hyper competitive suburban school. Fortunately, got into Amherst and merit scholarships offers from Vanderbilt, Rice and USC. [/quote] What does this have to do with the question OP asked? Your post is an odd mix of grievance (Asian discrimination) and not so humble brag.[/quote]

I was thinking the same. Ivy admits are rare no matter the score. 1590 isn't a pass to Ivies non Asian or Asian. I get so sick of this discrimination accusation by people who placed too much value on a test.

And, what did any of this have to do with OP's question? Some people are so hung up on themselves. [/quote]

She didn't allege discrimination really, merely stated the basic information one would need to know including the pros and the cons.  She stated it all rather matter of factly - being Asian and being from a competitive high school were headwinds.  Just as being black or Hispanic and being from a rural or inner city high school would be positive.  It's all relevant context.

But it's interesting how quick you are to attack her for merely stating the applicant was Asian.  If she wrote non-URM or white you probably would not have thought twice.  You white liberals get so triggered when Asians complain that they are being mistreated or speak up at all.  They need to sit there and shut the *** up right?  Know their place?  [/quote]

You need to reread her post. She did allege discrimination with stating that being Asian was a "drawback." You are bringing a lot of baggage to the conversation.  It is inaccurate, biased and irrelevant to OP's post.[/quote]
