<p>I am at a loss. The intent is clear? What intent is that?</p>
<p>Story of my 3 Asian classmates and 1 Asian friend from my area (myself included)</p>
<ol>
<li>All Asian Males</li>
</ol>
<p>That is the way the OP decided to define himself and frame his story. Just like plenty of other before him! Was the repeated inclusion of Asian accidental? Was the choice of location for this thread accidental? </p>
<p>Same old and trite story with the usual development when the thread does not get the expected reactions.</p>
<p>One more time, please spell it out since it is quite clear to you.</p>
<p>I think at some point I must have posted about D1 and her 3 Asian friends, all Asian females. In her year, they got into Georgetown and Cornell, and all got turned down by high Ivies. I am just not sure if they thought they were more disadvantaged because they were Asians or females. </p>
<p>Four years later, all 4 of those kids got job offers whereas a lot other kids didnt. I think the reason they got hired, aside from their good looks, was because they were females and Asians (employers look for diversities too, just sometimes it could be different than what colleges look for).</p>
<p>TTparent, are you serious or trying to be funny?</p>
<p>I am not trying to be funny. I am making a point just as you are too. You can’t state what OP means because that would be your interpretation of what you think he means. And you won’t say it because it could easily be way overblown from the original intent. If it is clear as you say it is then let’s have it.</p>
<p>People already asked OP, and he clarified his position.</p>
<p>
On any other message board I read, this would have immediately diverted the conversation, as every knuckledragger would have immediately posted assorted versions of the “Got Pics?” smilie.</p>
<p>“The sad fact is how many of the kids getting in aren’t just light heavyweights but how many are middle-weights academically.”</p>
<p>I am not surprised that happens, but I am surprised that Goldman named names.</p>

<p>As I said before, I do not believe students choose an elite for the education but an opportunity to rub shoulders with the rich and powerful, and hopefully pick up an offer from Goldman or Mckenzie in the process, and maybe, just maybe, marital bliss as well at a future date.</p>
<p>“I feel like I committed some unspeakable crime.”</p>
<p>Nope. You just experienced the wrath of the good mothers.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>note: daughters of oldfort, have been taken off my list for DS, they have BFs. </p>
<p>However, the daughters does have girlfriends. oldfort and daughters, back on the my list.
So is, mini, who never left the list, I don’t know of their bf status.
:)</p>
<p>thanks boverine, I never bring up bf/gf status unless someone else mentions it first. 
;)</p>
<p>D2- no boyfriend yet, but need to get her into a college first.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, I see … it’s time to play games of semantics.</p>
<p>College, oldfort, is not a prerequist. Maturity, camping-skiing, foodie, are. :]</p>
<p>I mean no disrespect to the OP. I am simply saying how his original post was so easily “misinterpreted.” ;)</p>
<p>LongPrime,not in school means: wait for it: not yet of “age.” :eek:</p>
<p>People on this board hate Asians much?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, I didn’t missed the point because OP intent was clear and I followed up with statistics that bolstered OPs point.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which might be exactly what happened? How do you know that was not the case? OP has suggested his disbelief based on his effort, hard work and his stats and is entitled to his interpretation of the results.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, actually many of us are Asian. I guess that doesn’t mean we can’t hate Asians…:D.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why facts discomfort you? If it’s not happening and OP’s complaining we can understand your discomfort but this is happening. Different ethnicity students are subjected to different standards when it comes to admissions and you say OP doesn’t even have a right to complain about it.</p>
<p>
What part of this post did the OP not want people to consider? Seeing as he numbered 5 things, I believe he meant for us to consider those 5 things. </li>
</ol>
<p>People cannot speculate if being Asian had anything do do with the rejections because their is no context with these statistics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not politically correct to complain unless you belong to a URM group. We cannot, after all, have people from every group complaining!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Let’s be serious: no group of URMs with such stats would have suffered such a total rejection rate.</p>
