<p>are you delusional, you know absolutely nothing about college admissions, period.</p>

<p>Being an asian male in no way decreases your chances. I know several asians with 2000's who got into harvard, yale and princeton. You know what was different about them? They were unique. They were not the stereotypical asian pre-med nerd who has the same EC's as thousand other asian applicants: math, math, classical music, piano, violin, math club, a second math club, no athletics, no "unique" activiities.</p>

<p>These kids were unique. They were varsity captains. Some hated math and science but were a humanities powerhouse.</p>

<p>Don't blame anyone else cause your application looked the same as a billion others. Maybe you should step out under the control and will of your parents and become your own person. Colleges see that, and it will show.</p>
