Forget top 30 colleges and focus on lower ranking privates or state schools.[/quote]

yeah, no. my asian kid is at an ivy with lower stats.[/quote]

Lucky one, your kid must be an outlier.

My kid with much strong stats, 1590,13APs, multiple leaderships, numerous state awards, national award but not top, volunteer award plus law firm part-time job, rejected by all Ivies applied , bottom ones didn't apply.
End up in top lac.[/quote]

Nope - just private HS.
Non-stem and non-stereotypical so really stood out.[/quote]

My kid is also Non-stem and non-stereotypical, what make your DC stood out? ranked at the top?[/quote]

Uncommon ECs, interests and jobs - followed a true internal interest/drive. We (parents) know nothing about this area and couldn’t have helped even if we wanted to.

Give your kid the space and time to find what they’d do/study/learn if no one else was there. Then have them do that, even if it seems strange. [/quote]

Tiger parents mentality:  if the kid’s interest is not math/engineering related, they are going to freak out.[/quote]

Because those parents were in math/engineering majors, don't think liberal art majors can make decent money for living. Understandable as first generation immigrants.[/quote]
