Asians are just as, or more racist as white rednecks. Consider the quest for whiter skin among women in practically all Asian countries/regions.

One of the articles said GPA of 101.4 so assuming that's weighted GPA, is that equivalent to approximately 4.03 weighted GPA? That seems low for selective colleges let alone Ivys.

Smart? Lawyer? No correlation. The association has an inverse relationship.

Clueless and neuronless. Only a fool needs this information to reach a tenable conclusion. By the same token you do not need to provide us with your scores ... only a fool would spot you even slightly below average intelligence. Spare us, we don't need to see your numbers. That's obvious.

Don't bother me with facts!!!

I recalled that story immediately when I saw this thread!

Okay, how can we parent like the Nigerians?

Freakin' Nigerians!

Before I get flamed, totally kidding! . My African spouse, from another country, will often rag on Nigerians in this manner. Many Nigerians in this country that I've encountered, mostly as colleagues, are quite accomplished.

I am okay with your last sentence but not with "Standards were not lowered"... So, are you saying her stats are equal/better to Asian/white applicants? Give me a f'king break.

Sounds like her achievements, accomplishments, grades, test scores, and non academic accomplishments were sterling by any standards. Top rate for any homo sapiens...male or female...on any side of the Atlantic or Pacific.

For many so-called and self-identifying Americans, their American President, Barack Obama is a socialist from Kenyan, the earth is square and not round, the globe is in the throes of an ice age, and a White and Caucasian gun slinging God/Lord hangs out in outer space looking over them.

Standards were not lowered, but URM status gave her a boost compared to other applicants with the same stats. It is not racist to recognize it, but it is unhealthy to judge.
Not being a URM, or a legacy, or a top athlete, or poor first-gen should be factored into one's college admissions plan.

No break for you. It has already been said on here that Nigerians value education and have extremely high educational attainment. She is a superior applicant from an educated middle-class family that happens to have dark skin.
