[quote=Anonymous]My son applied to top schools as an Asian boy ranked second in his class from a top private (not in DC) and was waitlisted or denied at most. He had top rigor, NMF, qualified for AIME couple of times and ranked for his activity nationally. Luckily, he managed to get into all the top publics for CS - Michigan, Berkeley and UCLA. As he went through the process, his classmates showed real grace and were often there to sympathize with him as he got the results. Everyone knows about college admissions as well as the kids. Even kids who got in as legacy, URM or athletic recruits were very gracious throughout the process. No one was in denail about the process.Thank God for public schools with race blind admissions, he had good choices. Now at Berkeley, he tells me that there are many kids who are as qualified or better qualified than him, so he seems happy. [/quote]
