Chinese-American with Almost Perfect SAT Score Denied from 6 Elite Colleges

[@JayJay-cw3cg]

I think a lot of people forget that University is still a money maker. They have people who invest millions into these schools and they still have to appease them. Life just isn't built on merit, it's more based off connections. Plenty of people are as dumb as a rock who hold master degree's as educators, but all they did was just network/pay their way through completing assignments etc.etc. meanwhile others are working hard and hit the wall of opportunity way earlier than half the morons who have a door opened for them. Kind of like how pretty people go through life much easier than someone who is unpleasant to look at lol..

There is a variety of reasons as to why he didn't get accepted but I think the main one is being "too perfect" not just applying to him but most Asians. Asians we grew up with trying to be perfect in everything but at the same time, that is also our downfall. We have been drilled from the beginning to get good grades and we end up losing sight of everything else that matters. Your personality its just as important as your grades. I have seen the Asians in college that get the good grades, and they are an eyesore. they are very quiet and sometimes don't have many friends they are the closest thing to robots. The misconception is that college do not want perfect, they want someone who can grow.

[@PlanetSadala]

This reminds me of a super smart Chinese kid I knew in high school. He would read a paragraph from the textbook in 10 seconds and tell you what is said perfectly. Anyway, when it came to social situations he was very forest gump like. One dude at out table was joking when he said that he was gonna get him in trouble with the teacher. The Chinese dude couldn’t tell he was joking so he offered the dude 20 bucks "to not tell on him". Also I heard that the GPAs and test scores are so competitive, in situations like this smart kids get rejected because lack of leadership skills as a way to differentiate between the applicants.

Big thing people don’t put into consideration is who else is applying to these schools. Everyone they accept is that near perfect SAT and GPA, but the ones they take are the ones that showed they did something more than study, and it doesn’t have to be sports. Harvard has all these geniuses applying, but they’d want the kid who had those grades or maybe a tad bit lower and started a small business in high school or a nonprofit or something that makes them different than the rest

[@wyrmingplatypus]

School donations don’t count as bribes as long as the money isn’t going (directly) into the admission person’s pockets. All schools require successful alumni to financially back them up to grow bigger. They give you opportunity to get higher pay and you give them money when you make it. It’s the same thing for parents raising kids so they can take care of them. The students are their investment for the future. They have a stock in their alumni. Churches have that system too except that’s religious, the members of the church are happy because they have community and god and donate to the church so the church can grow and market their events.

[@ml219]

there are plenty of "dumb" kids, if compared to their peers in ivy league.. a lot get in through legacy admissions, like from certain parents/families that have gone to the school before... this also ensures a steady donations to the ivy league...

If this the same story I am thinking of, he blamed black people for his problems. Who are probably 3% in all of higher education of this level and unrepresented, while Asians are overrepresented, not the legacy admissions which are almost half of entrants. It has been proven that a good portion of the legacy children couldn't pass on their own. The reason he even got a chance was black people fought and instead of fighting for only black people decided to be inclusive which bit them in the ass because white women and every other group had the advantage and now he is crying about and now poof gone, nobody will be happy. Truth is black people never had affirmative action work well for them. I am going with Joe, all those schools and got dismissed. And look at his response: "The problem was affirmative action!" This was a "him" problem.

[@MakeAocBartendAgain]

If he just doesn't measure up, then those black students aren't underrepresented... they just aren't smart enough to reach that level of education. I also missed the part where he blamed black ppl.

[@linkinlinkinlinkin654]

what bs. Its straightup dissonance or symantic manipulation to make any competitive environment a 'representation problem'. Colleges are supposed to educate ones who want it, and the better the college, they choose more advanced candidates to fulfil their requirements. Do you want representation in sports? Historically every level of sports inclusion is adversarial to east asians, middle-school through college

Have to think about money for admissions and who they want to admit. It’s not just one type or characteristic, and there are probs admissions people and even whole college’s that have racial biases. But generally, they’d want people who are likely to stay 4 or more years, pay tuition (may be less incentivized the more grant/gov money they get), and are more likely to give back if they become successful. Being super smart can make someone a shoe-in to stay 4 years academically, but if they are in the Asian stereotype of being academics only, non-interactive socially, they may be less likely to have school spirit or build it in others. School spirit can turn into good feelings and gratitude for an institution, and can lead alums to giving a few hundred or thousand bucks, and that can add up with thousands of new alums a year. So basically, good grades can at most help show a student has the ability to do the work and stay paying tuition all 4 years. At a certain point a 1590 and a 1570 don’t mean much to even the best schools academically, so they’ll likely care about other parts that can show you’ll be a good fit for the college and good alum after.

Exactly why when they say they look at the whole person, they look at more than those cookie cutter things. They think of it like nerd kids just checking boxes. It's an achievement, it's difficult, but not a unicorn. So that's why doing something more than checking boxes is better. Something like going and doing anything with a real interest you have. For instance, I'm a biology major and art minor. And when people hear that, they LOVE ME. My boss literally hired me at my university tutoring job because he thought about me as an art student who knows chemistry. But I'm a bio major who knows chem and does art. He didn't listen to me tho, he thought about me how he wanted to. And the way he did made him choose me, when there were other candidates who were the same as me. Science majors with previous work experience as a tutor. I bet some had better grades than me, but I was the more interesting one. I want to say, too, that I get told that if I apply to medical schools, I will get in. It pays to be interesting. It pays to be different. Some of my coworkers were math, physics, and biology majors. So they were the most useful to him, he used them the most for all of what they could do. It's better to be interesting.

Bush and Obama both went to Harvard, I doubt that their GPA and SAT's are higher? Maybe he was pleasing himself during the interview process while solving a diophantine equation, hmmm.

they get to discriminate, because of you personality.

When you go so left that you end up in the right.

Hitler was a socialist so they ended up right where they wanted to be, far far left. Affirmative action is taken straight out of the nazi playbook.

This is only telling students if they work hard you'll go nowhere and you should just slack off and be happy.

Maybe, in his essay it was revealed he leaned to the right 😮. The SAT could use an additional component or a refresh too

[@robinmoulette718]

I don't see the problem. They can't let all of the azn's in the world into these universities, simply because their grades are good and they have top test scores. By all means get rid of Affirmative Action but using it for the excuse of why you didn’t get in is Entitlement. You Don't Have Anything Else To Offer But Your Grades!!! Comeback when you have personality and not another Robot🙄😵‍💫😵‍💫

I wouldn't call it an excuse if it's likely true.

[@chyeannevojet7664]

​@@marlinmurrell620It's an excuse and when affirmative action is gone for good, Maybe they will finally address the legacy kids and stop with the b.s.

[@marlinmurrell620]

@@chyeannevojet7664 It's not an excuse. Sure, legacy shit is bullshit, but it's also bullshit that he applied to 6 top schools, and gets rejected by every single one of them. So it's not really an excuse.

@@chyeannevojet7664 👍👍Personally I wouldn't want a bunch of students with no personality, non athletic, never been laid before, prudish, quiet like students graduating from my school because it would give the school a bad reputation and they could lose funding.

This is why AFFIRMATIVE ACTION was needed y'all! Now we don't have it anymore

[@Cyber_Nomad_Galinar]

Affirmative action was what created the problem. The best performers should get the spot/job, not the color of your skin.

[@wyrmingplatypus]

I think they’d rather enroll a Chinese American who is 95% as smart with personality and a goal of building a company and creating jobs for fellow Americans than another student who’s smarter but has nothing he wants to do with his intelligence.

[@torchbearer2175]

Lol AA didn't stop the kid from college, it was literally the legacy kids and every other applicant that matched our exceeded his grades 😂

[@torchbearer2175]

​@@Cyber_Nomad_Galinarno thats literally the lie of meritocracy, it was always about money and connections

[@francisco2525]

​@@Cyber_Nomad_Galinar When it comes to higher education, no other minority has benefited from Affirmative Action more than Asians. Example around 1965 when Affirmative Action was created the student population of U.C Berkeley or other U.C was around 3 to 4 percent. However, when I attended in 1992 it was around 45% and now I think it is over 50 percent. They have benefited from it so much that now they see it as a negative.

[@Neosum]

It'll will take a long time for affirmative action to go away.Asian with perfect SAT scores and 5.0 gpa can still get turned down for a black or mexican with a 2.5gpa and 1300 SAT.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

That's not how that works. And people need to stop thinking just because a person of color gets in. It's because they were less qualified, affirmative action must be why. They could be just as intelligent with great scores. Other qualities are taken into factor, too.

[@drewc2323]

At least it’s going away!👏🏼

[@jenr5771]

I didn’t luck out then since I still got rejected from a university the first time I tried for it. Guess I don’t have that Mexican privilege now.

[@torchbearer2175]

Holy shit didn't know u idiots existed, literally not how that works btw. Did u forget there are thousands of ppl with the same application with actual perfect scores and higher GPA's? Literally the first ones getting in these schools are legacy admins and those with money, for affirmative action applicants they'd still need high grades and show extra curricular activities

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

@@drewc2323 you must be lost. Fact: white women benefit from affirmative action more than black and brown people do or ever have. So your comment like the poster is really stupid.

It's not a catfish when you are the one who assumed the person in the thumbnail was someone other than it was. It isn't their fault you couldn't tell the difference between Tim and Trung, just cuz they are both Asian and tend to wear a ball cap.

I would have taken this kid. I would literally kick another asian that wasnt doing as good and replace them with this kid. That might seem racist, but you cannot pass up someone who almost aced that SAT test. Maybe he really isnt that smart, but has a photographic memory. That said, thats still an achievement and he can do lots of stuff with that.
