[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m late but I always chime in when I see posts like this. My AA cousin ( not first Gen) got rejected this year from two Ivy League schools and multiple top 20 schools. He is going to Georgia Tech and we are so proud of him. I don’t know his GPA but he got a near perfect score on his SATs.
 Having said that,[b] my DC is now a rising sophomore at an Ivy[/b]. Graduated with a 4.5+ GPA with competitive SATs which were submitted (not perfect but in the middle range). My DC does have a spike in STEM and other impressive academic talents. My kid’s essay, ECs (some since middle school) and recommendations were top notch.

The majority of URM on campus are Hispanic or from African countries. There are plenty of Asians on campus.[b] Every single one of my kid’s friends (every nationality) I met on campus are brilliant[/b]. Anyone admitted with lower scores are probably highly recruited talented athletes who are also “smart”.

[b]I work with Ivy grads in a regular job environment (all with masters and above). They are super smart but not necessarily brilliant. [/b]A high SAT test score does not make one brilliant. A high SAT test score does not mean you can hang with the big dogs. Anyone can study for a test. Perhaps the admissions criteria have changed based on past outcomes and research revealing this fact?

You don't see the contradiction here?  :lol: [/quote]

Those anti-Asian racist posts are full of self-contradictions.  Is there a need to keep posting here?  Both sides[/quote]
