It has nothing to doJust asking because I’m still a little salty about one of my kids not getting into Cornell. He was a perfect fit academically (4.0/1500+) and socially (smart, will talk about anything intelligently, we are from NY and he applied to CALS, and just weird enough for Cornell). My other kid with 4.0/1500+ who is really on a different level in his “spike”, got stiffed from all the top schools. Both kids don’t really care anymore, so its all good to them and I’m saving money.
We’ll see if the older one gets in a top Grad school, although he hasn’t decided where to apply yet. Personally, I hoping for UCB. He is a Bernie lovin lefty
and it would give me an excuse to visit in the winter and get him out of the northeast for a few years.
OTOH, He might just become an Actuary and not to worry about not being judged subjectively. Pass an exam, more money! Pass enough exams, get promoted. Hey a non-Asian with a 4.0 Math/Physics GPA! How did that happen?
My opinion of Asians is pretty good as the best bosses I’ve had were all from Taiwan. One even said the star of his family has degrees from a few ivies, even though a whole bunch others are just as or more professionally successful. The stars of my family are all MD’s so where you went to school doesn’t matter as long as you got into Med School. I have 2 relatives from different sides of the family who won separate Oscars. The real ones that you see on TV, not the ones they do at the luncheon. They are not on the same level as the Doctors.
FWIW, This entire website basically exists because we are all ivy worshiping! Look at the navigation left panel. I don’t see a placeholder for the Big 10 or SEC.
