[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, according to some pp who have commented, this kid probably deserved to be rejected because he wrote lousy essays, had bad teacher recommendations because he is a robot, lied about his accomplishments, isn't really interested in attending college, had grades that were too low (and UC colleges didn't look at his SATs and AP scores), and he is at higher risk of committing suicide because he is Asian, therefore damaged and fragile from years of tiger parenting.

Again, this kid sounds pretty amazing, and his rejection from numerous colleges is more indicative of a failing system than of his failings.

Is it a failing system if the actual outcome is he gets a high paying job at a very high prestige employer in his field as the consolation prize?

It’s harder to get into Google as a new hire L4 than it is to get into any of those schools.

“He did everything right, what happened”

What happened is he skipped four years (maybe 6!) of bullshit to land a bullseye on his goal.

Poor kid couldn’t date Natalie Portman or Jennifer Lawrence so he had to marry Taylor Swift.[/quote]
