[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges aren’t particularly interested in upper middle class white or Asian kids right now as an institutional priority. The high school matter less than the demographics.[/quote] They’re so uninterested that they’re taking 20-30% Asian students in their classes. Such neglect. [/quote] Versus how many qualified Asian applicants?[/quote] There is no such thing as “qualified.” Top colleges only care about grades & test scores beyond a basic threshold.[/quote] Agree that grades and test scores aren’t the whole equation, but the threshold is high at top schools for unhooked students. A “qualified” student is one who meets this threshold. Plenty of qualified students aren’t admitted in favor of hooked students, or said differently, institutional priorities. OP’s child is never going to meet an institutional priority unless he/she applies to a school at which they are a legacy.[/quote]
