You folks are missing something. Smart Asians vote with the left. Let them bus tables.
I suggested the same thing (see Post No. 23). I suspect there is something in his application package — other than his Asian surname — that sent up bells and whistles. Perhaps he wrote a highly offensive essay or worse, plagiarized the essay or used AI or a third-party service to write the essay for him. From what I understand, many highly selective colleges and universities routinely run the application essays though a database that looks for unoriginal works (i.e., plagiarized, 3rd party service, or AI.
Was I bad?

You would be interpreted as selfish.
We knew a student who scored a PERFECT SAT score, a few others with near-perfect scores, and many others with scores high enough for Ivy League, and ALL were rejected by Ivy League universities. One of my kids was among them.
These were white and black students. All were homeschooled. None of our kids filed lawsuits or ran to the press. Most of them went to state universities where they were happy.
Admission to STEM programs at the “top” universities is extremely competitive.
They prefer foreign students because they pay full freight.
Good point... U.S. students should be admitted to those spots first if the university receives federal funding.
He's probably a great student and a nice kid. But, maybe this is what happened:
Many high-scoring students are rejected by top universities, especially for STEM programs, which are highly competitive. Right?
This young man and his father believe something set him apart from everyone else: At age 13, he received a letter from Google offering him a position after high school. Then he was hired by Google after high school.
I once met someone whose son, at age 13 or 14, received a similar letter when he applied to work in IT for a major company. He, too, was hired by that company after high school.
Here's where the stories differ: The boy (I knew about) had no connections at the company that hired him.
OTOH, the young Asian American man's father works for Google as a software engineer manager.
So, maybe the colleges disregarded the letter from Google and the Google job from the equation.
What was left? His near-perfect SAT score and high school GPA, and he was competing against other top students for the top STEM programs.
It was a joke about how a ridiculously high GPA and SAT are probably common among Asians because they are very smart and academically minded
