<p>You’ve got a really strong application, but please, please stop saying that you’re not everyone’s “usual Chinaman” or that you are an “atypical Asian”. You take computer programming classes, you’ve gone above and beyond what most people complete in terms of their math courses, you’re IN Mu Alpha Theta, you’re dreaming of pre-med … and, perhaps most tellingly, you think you’re different.</p>
<p>An atypical Asian would probably do ridiculous amounts of hard drugs and partake in naughty activities in the second-floor bathroom. Like. Seriously. I’ll say it again; you have solid stats … but stop pretending that someone like you is one in a million.</p>
<p>(And even if you ARE one in a million, that means that there are 1330 people like you in China alone!)</p>
