Hard working Asian young man from the bay area rejected by the 16 top Engineering schools in America including, surprising to me, Georgia Tech. The family has filed a law suit against California schools. In the era of Donald Trump, this is not a good look for these schools. The family has contacted state lawmakers in California but say they got little interest in return. I would think legislators in some red states like Georgia, PA, Wisconsin and Michigan might take a keener interest. I would hope so anyway. Racism is racism and this is a prime example of what DJT is fighting.

I'm from the era when a 4.0 GPA was the highest possible, so what is a 4.4 GPA? Is this out of a maximum of 5?

If so, to be honest, that's not a great GPA. His 1590 SAT score is very impressive, though (assuming that 1600 is still the maximum).

“Extra credit”, weighted courses (AP, honors class etc.)

If he had been black he would of gotten in with a 1000 SAT and a 3.5 GPA

You want racism and discrimination? This is racism and discrimination. I hope the family wins the lawsuits.

Advanced placement college level classes.

[pepsi_junkie]

They already have plenty of asian kids with 1590 on SAT and 4.4 GPA

[rdcbn1]

Advanced Placement courses have an A grade count as 5.0

So the kid got straight A grades with the gut courses he took being Advanced Placement

[one guy in new jersey]

An “B” in an AP course is equivalent to a non-AP “A”, ITGRC.

So, AP “A”s as a high school upperclassman, say, could start bumping your cumulative GPA above a 4.0, the more AP classes you take, and get “A”s in (provided you are also careful to avoid ending sentences with prepositions).

Old story: He got rejected

New Story: Lawsuits

Georgia Tech had an acceptance rate of 9% this year. They gave preference to in-state applicants first.

Urban “Utes” are the new worshipped class. Whites and Asians can just go home.
