The dentist was a shi#.
I agree, but, do u think it’s even true?
IF this is a true story, then Yes, the dentist was an a$$.
In my experience, professionals are too busy thinking of what they’re doing, the SOP involved, &c, to engage in long conversations about inconsequential stuff.
The longest conversation my dentist ever had with me involved his recommendation that I read Spinoza - not inconsequential, and for which I’ve always been grateful.
And, Yes; the kid should major in drama, a very lucrative career, if one is good at it. But somehow, I think he’ll become a community organizer, if he can’t stick it to Lawyer ;-)

The dentist was not a shi#.
The shi# is this illegal freeloader getting FREE dental care while attending Harvard with low test scores...probably also on tax dollars.
The dentist told the truth.
Sure, he was—but the dentist’s point was entirely accurate, and this kid is acting as if it is a big accomplishment to complete your own college application. As if he didn’t get into Stanford with his score—which is so low he won’t even admit it in whine here—because he is Hispanic. Pretty clearly he got a 30, which just barely gets him into the 95% range.
That means most likely the kid will either wash out of his biomedical engineering major—or be helped along with his grades throughout.
Maybe not. Maybe he can hack it. But his score suggests he probably can’t. E.g., if the kid were 99% on the math portion of the ACT exam, you can be sure he’d be bragging about that. And having parents who aren’t fluent in English shouldn’t influence that portion of his scores anyway.
I put them both in the jerk category.
