If both stats and cost are challenges, he will likely have to ditch the Asian percentage he wants. Student demographics didn't even cross our minds for us. DS has equal difficulty socializing with any race

So look for less-selective state schools, and hire one-on-one tutors so he can hoist himself to the highest GPA he can get. GPA is by far the most important criteria for the profile he has.



So, you were just dying to post this, lol?


PP you replied to. Back off, you haven't been in my shoes for the last 18 years. If you had, you'd be bragging from the rooftop. OP has to look for schools regardless of racial proportions, have her kid apply widely, then see which options are more affordable and have the highest proportion of Asians.


NP. I have an 11 year old autistic dd with ADHDand dyslexia, and I actually thought PP was inspirational. She used my current strategy and it's nice to hear a story of it working out okay.

DP. I reported that troll. Someone is just trying to stir the pot there. You were just sharing relevant info that most of us appreciate.


I think a post bragging about your brilliant child getting merit scholarships is -- under these circumstances -- the trolling.

So you admit you are bragging. OP is struggling and you are on here bragging about your kid getting merit scholarships. Context is everything. You were being gross.


NP. Agreed. That was a really nasty zinger and useless post, just awful.


NP here, I didn't read it that way. I took it as PP describing her experience, and mentioning the merit scholarship because GW is expensive and OP said money was an issue.

Folks, chill out.

Princeton Review’s guidebook will have an ethnic breakdown of the student body.

UMBC has a large Asian American representation , but I am not aware of their OOS tuition or admissions criteria.

Reminds me of the joke where the really tall kid applied to every school with a crappy basketball team. He ended every essay with "BTW, I'm 6ft 10in"

He got calls from all of them and they all asked one question.

"Why did you make us read the whole essay?"

You will not get into any of these schools, outside Norfolk state with a 3.0


A POC with a 3.0 can absolutely get into JMU.


First out from under the rock? You missed a few things.

1: The Supreme Court won't allow universities to use race or ethnicity anymore
2: The Common App has made receiving that data optional
3: No university is ever going to touch that data again. There is line of lawyers wrapped around the building just dying for a crack

So JMU won't know if Brian Smith is POC or not.

Welcome to 2023. Hope you enjoyed your nap!


Don't worry, I'll make sure my kids mentions it on their College Essay.

Same schools as all other underachieve students. Why would it be any different?
