Very clear from your other posts that this concern stems from your son’s rejection from Cornell. I am sorry for your disappointment and I am sure it is easy to blame this in the 10% of international students that got “his” seat at Cornell. But why not blame the 90% of domestic applicants that also got his seat? Or the athletes? Or the legacies? Or the band members? I also have an extremely high stats daughter who did not get into her reachiest schools. But luckily she had lots more she got into.
You also blame “tiger parents” in your previous posts, and “international” parents whose children are now entering the system. To be clear- you are talking about many parents who are NOW US citizens. Their children may not be white…but they are not international for the purpose of admission. There have always been ethnic groups that are high achieving- and there have always been arguments that we need to limit their numbers in order to protect the “real” American kids. We are all aware of the policies used against Jewish Americans at the top universities in our country- using the same arguments you make now.
Tons of kids didn’t get into Cornell or H,Y,P. Your child was not entitled to a seat in these institutions just because he is a more traditionally “American” student than other American kids from different backgrounds.
I hope he has found a great college to attend and he is happy.
