his friends and counselors warned that “it’s tougher to get in, especially as an Asian-American.”

Absolutely true. I would add "male" to that.

And on the other end of that, these elite schools all have large numbers of staff dedicated to keeping their diversity admits from flunking out. Usually by channeling them into majors like creative writing, gender studies, and political studies

Well, that’s the way it is now in Liberal Paradise.

Some minorities are more equal than other minorities.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Asians are known for their quiet manner, relative to other minorities.

The college needs to be mentioned. There are old conservatives that might make things difficult for the communists.

A blessing in disguise. If he’s already woke, maybe he’ll learn who his friends really are. If not, he’d have to either get woke or grovel before them.

Still too afraid to talk about blatant anti-white bigotry so they are forced to discuss some Asians that can’t get into nice schools because they don’t want to be called “racist”

He’s a slacker. No wonder he was rejected.

1700 is the minimum. GPA should be 6.0

UC Berkeley does not belong anywhere near that group of Universities unless the student is learning to become a communist agitator.

Berkeley is a school for leftwing retards. /spit

Given those marks, and the fact that Wang doesn’t appear to have any character or criminal issues, you would think one of the admissions departments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Princeton, Harvard, Carnegie Mellon University or the University of California, Berkeley, would give Wang the time of day. You would think wrong. Wang told Fox that he was rejected by all of them.

Soon the 'Elite Universities' will start losing their 'elite' status because so many of their graduates will be duds. They'll be avoided and will stop getting the best jobs.

A solution is to create new colleges that ONLY accept on merit - in time they'll become the 'elite' schools of the future. MIT can only coast on their old line reputations for so long - and then the ugly reality will take over. Eventually the world always agrees that "the proof is in the pudding"... and these school will not be able to get their old reputations back.

“Asian-American Student Has Near-Perfect SAT Score and a 4.65 GPA, Gets Ugly Shock After Applications to Elite Universities”

Clearly a bright kid. But he needs to open his eyes to the reality of todays America. Seems like they are open now.

Getting into college, or a particular university is not the right goal. Ones plan should be broader and there should be alternate paths to fulfill the plan that cannot be derailed by political correctness, liberalism, or any bad trait in any one person or institution.

Thusly armed, this kid will be successful. Whining about liberal institutions being racist and unfair does not advance your position one bit.

Maybe you have to work harder to achieve certain things. so be it.

Control the things in life that you can control. Working hard is but one of them.

But remember the lessons learned along the way.....

I am not surprised, Asians and Latinos are not wanted by the elite schools because they are not African American which is being pushed as much as possible.

So who are the real racists and bigots, the Hypocritical Liberals and the Democrat Party Policies.

This is exactly the kind of student they should be wanting, but kids like him would destroy the Grade Curve and cause real competition in the classroom.

Somewhere, in the small, fine print, or perhaps on a post it note, is the term CaucASIAN. When Trayvon Martin was shot, I first read about the White-Hispanic Zimmerman. The Drive-By Media must keep the hate alive. DemocRATS love to divide, divide, divide, and then pit one group against another.

I suggest this young, bright individual go to Hillsdale College. He will probably learn more in one semester at Hillsdale than any undergraduate and graduate school in these indoctrination centers.

They’d rather graduate students in Tibetan philosophy.

He should consider himself lucky he got rejected. There is nothing these institutions can teach him that is worthy of his time. Find a conservative college.

There are China concerns, though. Specifically, CCP concerns. It notably gives problems to many of its present and former citizens who go to live and work other countries.

Universities (especially the larger ones) should handling student loans instead of the government and thus they will only admit qualified students that can eventually pay back the money.

There should be some sort of system to anonymize names during the admission process. LW school administrators shouldn’t get access to this data until maybe after a student accepts and enrolls.

He should have identified as another race or an ‘it’ gender.

People want top engineers to build their bridges, buildings and airliners. They want their doctors to know their biology, anatomy and human ailments.

This affirmative action nonsense assumes ANYBODY can be smart enough to do all the intellectually demanding work.

Nobody wants to be riding inside an airliner designed by a moron.

Nobody wants a doctor to take out the wrong kidney because he/she was at the bottom of the medical class and barely passed tough classes.

Leaving meritocracy behind for race quotas is the end of any society not promoting the best and brightest.

Hey, maybe he will got to China, get his PHD in Engineering and go to work for their military and develop a weapon system that destroys the entire US Military’s air defense system. But what the Hell. The people that got his US scholarships will probably get degrees in gender studies or degrees in racial equity become heads of DEI offices at their universities.
