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.
Wang now goes to Georgia Institute of Technology. It’s ranked number 51 in the Global World University Rankings. Its Engineering programs all rank among the top 5 in the United States.
Its in-state is less than $13,000 and out of state tuition is $20,000 less than the ivies on average.
Why insist on going to the Ivies when you can get just as good an education somewhere else? ( the tuition is cheaper too ).
