<p>Simple solution: STOP BICKERING AND DO SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT WITH YOUR LIFE!</p>
<p>Exhibit A: A Chinese Male from my high school went to IMO (International Math Olympiad) and won a silver medal last year. He also represented the US at the International Linguistics Olympiad. He’s going to Harvard.
Exhibit B: A Chinese Girl from went IBO last summer and got silver. She’s only a junior right now, she will most likely get into MIT since she is going to RSI.
Exhibit C: I know a Chinese eighth grader who finished all the math classes and has represented Canada at IMO and won bronze!
Exhibit D: An Asian boy from my school has published two article in academic journals and has been a finalist at Siemens. He is going to Stanford.
Exhibit E, Exhibit F, Exhibit G: Asian guys and girls from my school going to ISEF and ending up at Harvard, Stanford, MIT.
Exhibit H: Asian guy receiving 3rd at a national piano contest –> MIT</p>
<p>So rather than bickering, why don’t you just make yourself hard to turn down? MIT doesn’t turn people down because they are Asian, its because they are all the same. Many of them try math competitions, many try science competitions. Only a few succeed. Those who do are the ones that MIT want, not the ones who do everything but don’t do well.</p>
