[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]more asians need to focus on sports instead. I am one of 4 asian siblings and I was the only one not to get into an elite college even though I had similar or better stats than my younger siblings.

I'm much older than them - I played sports but never trained in them with the mindset of using it as a 'hook' - we didn't understand that stuff. After I went through the process, I realized the best hook is getting recruited for sports so my younger siblings were all put in sports that they were good at - but the key difference is they were then pushed to excel in them by putting them in the best teams and sacrificing for them to play in the best competitions.

the results speak for themselves.

S[b]o my advice to tj/asian kids parents - make your kid focus on a sport and then make it like it is the 4th section of the SAT's. [/quote][/b]

My advice would be to stop trying to find a formula and let your kid be who they are.   Colleges can spot the paint-by-number robots a mile away.   [/quote]

My advice is to stop giving colleges this much power to begin with. [/quote]
