Jon Wang, an Asian-American, achieved a nearly perfect sore of 1590 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test and attained 4.65 grade-point average in high school — well beyond perfect.
Most folks likely would assume that waves of red carpets would come rolling in from elite colleges that would love nothing more than to scoop up a student boasting such numbers.
Indeed, Wang told Fox Nation he applied to six "top-tier" institutions of higher learning — Harvard, Princeton, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, Carnegie-Mellon, and the University of California, Berkeley.
But the verdict — despite Wang's performance, which included a perfect 800 on the math portion of the SAT — was a resounding no from all six schools, the cable network program said.… [they] told me I had a 20% chance of getting accepted to Harvard as an Asian-American and a 95% chance as an African-American," Wang told Fox Nation.

If a man can pose as a woman to get into women's sports, why can't an Asian pose as another race to get into college?
SUE THE RACIST BUSTARDS!
Wang should have applied to National University of Singapore or a similar genuinely elite school overseas. Harvard and Princeton now exist to train Deep State junior officers - and require criteria other than merit for admission.
Yes, this is unfair. And, yes, this crap needs to stop. Affirmative action is un-American.
With all that said, Mr. Wang will do just fine as a Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech. I’ll bet he’ll be a hell of an engineer. Yes, it sucks to be the victim of discrimination. But one might argue that he’ll get a better education at Georgia Tech and fraternize with better, nicer people than he’d have met at Princeton.
Apparently, the 74% of Asian Americans that do not favor racial preferences in admissions would be much lower if the racial preferences adversely impacted the white pool rather than their own identity collective. Indeed, an Asian American group, not about to surrender their virtue feathers while retaining their mantle of victimhood, submitted a friend of the court legal brief positing the piling on legal argument that the history of structural white racism dictates that preferences could be afforded black and brown applicants but should be offset by limiting admissions from the white tribe not their own tribe. With friends like these throwing you under the partially colorblind bus, etc lol
He just got an education of a different kind.
Life ain’t fair.
Especially in our Woke upside down world, where hard work and excellence mean nothing if your skin color isn’t the right shade.
Its a quite common phenomenon actually. Young Asian men with excellent grades face huge barriers.
It works the other way too - I know a young (black) man, son of two Nigerian doctors, among the top students at his private high school, strong at math, well-spoken, did well on SATs.
He knew the game. He applied to every Ivy League school - just so he could claim he was admitted to every Ivy League school - which he was.
Outrageous!
Life rule #2: See #1.
He shoulda also applied to some of the Yuge enrollment # Land Grant Institutions.
I suspect that the six he chose to apply to could not handle all of the American kids who scored 1600.
He’s apparently not that bright.
So why do Asian people keep voting for leftist democrats? Of course, being Jewish, I have to ask the same question for my fellow Jews.
He didn’t play cello.
Might have been different if like D Hogg, he was a proponent of gun control

In case you didn’t know, reasonably smart black kids applying to many elite schools and being accepted to all —- with full ride scholarship offers —- is now “A THING”. Happens with some frequency and guarantees the kid nationwide publicity.
You needed to wear a dress, dude.
Hey Jon, apply to Hillsdale. There, you’ll get a solid education and won’t be brainwashed.
