Asian kid with 4.42GPA and 1590 on SAT denied by 16 colleges,
They're being "anti-racist" by keeping the Asians out.

High school kid or software engineer?

It seems like you are one of the first responses in most threads yet it’s always how said subject is dumb or doesn’t matter.
Why does it matter when or how I post? If you’re a true conservative like you claim it wouldn’t matter.
It’s dumb because I don’t feel bad an Asian didn’t get in and it involves Google. Wah

If an Asian of high intelligence is getting kept of great colleges, white people are screwed. POC of not yellow or white skin will get in with much lower academic standards.
Actually Asians have it a little harder than whites. Although that may be skewed by the white legacy admissions. The white legacy admissions make it tough for ivy leagues to justify a kid from a white working class family.

Because ignoring "small" things like this have weakened the United States to a point that the damage may be irrevocable. But it’s not surprising that you and those like you don’t see the bigger picture. The dumbing down of the population is intentional, has been going on for decades, and will be the undoing of the United States as we know it. I would bet most young people in the United States are more interested in who Taylor Swift is banging than events that will have impact the world for decades if not centuries. Communist refers to those people s useful idiots.
President Kennedy attributed the following quote to Edmond Burke, but that’s up for debate. Nonetheless, whoever coined the phrase “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” couldn’t be truer.
People fall basically into three categories; you either fight evil, join evil, or do nothing to combat evil. Doing nothing is no different than being evil as they both accomplish the same goals. As a person, you will need to decide what category you fall in.

This doesn't make sense to me that he'd get rejected from the below schools.
These 5 colleges don't even practice affirmative action and they have significantly Asian campuses.

You’re also going off of 1 kid and 1 headline. As a white male who gets put at the bottom for being that, again not much sympathy. Especially when the Asian kid got picked up by the largest tech company, that has plenty and could have went to a white person. So….

That’s entirely dependent on what he wants to do. Colleges offer a lot of bullshite, but blanket declarations that it’s all a big scam are retarded.

Like LSU isn't. Short memory if you think LSU is any different.

This.
My son is a very gifted student so I'm pretty deep into all of this. He'll be just fine but some of the things going on in admissions is pretty crazy. For example:
Stanford last year admitted 1800 Freshman prior to the SC decision. 23% was the target for Whites with 54% of that needing to be female. So that means about 190 or so white males were admitted. Now take out Legacies and Athletes. How many are left? Also, if you make less than around $90k per year as a family everything is fully paid for. If you make up to about $130k tuition is paid for. If you make more than that though, $75k per year to go to school.
So if you are a white male, upper middle class with Mom and Dad working and making a good living that has steadily increased in income you have virtually no shot to get in but if you somehow do it's going to cost around $300-350k for your Degree.
All of the Ivies and the next tier (Duke, Rice, Vandy, Carnegie Mellon, etc) are very similar to this. Stanford and the Ivies give ZERO merit scholarships btw, it's purely means based. Some of the others have a very, very limited number of scholarships. So what is happening is those schools are becoming the very wealthy and the lower middle class mixed in with a few others going into massive debt. It's crazy.
As for college in general if you aren't looking at ROI and getting a real skill it's likely not worth it. My son wants to do Biomedical Engineering for instance, have to go to college for that. Other son is doing Maritime Transportation with a License Option, have to go to school for that too. Both of them will have a high ROI and good jobs after they graduate if they work hard. Way too many kids are just going to 13th Grade though and mainly worried about what Frat or Sorority they will join and spending a fortune doing it.

Sure. Why care about higher education? It’s not like it matters.

The issue here is that the US will pass on many good candidates that would be willing to contribute to the US. Unfortunately getting rejected means these candidates go to other countries. It was a way for the US to get the cream of the crop of the world but nowadays it's just diversity bullshite.

I so hope the Ivy Leagues fill the corporate world with dolts. It would hopefully kill off two of the greatest cancers this nation has going for it... Ivy League and corporate America.

How are things going in Middleton Library? Oh that’s right, they are not going at all since there is no longer a Middleton.
How are the after graduation hiring rates for the Black Studies and other DEI curriculum majors?
LSU is just as Woke as almost any Leftist organization.

College is so accessible these days you can get a GED at a community college, then complete an associates then go on to a university.
Unless you have some incredible back story, you're never going to be considered for top jobs coming out going this route.
The one outlier area would be some avenues of tech, but only coding or system admin stuff, but even then you're not getting a top job until you get a reputation in the industry.

Universities are doing a good job of that themselves.
I couldn’t help but notice when pursuing my 2nd degree in a med field that like public HS the university was primarily educating how to pass the licensing test.
Forget actual care and treatment, gotta make sure your basic math is good and you remember this formula/equation. And remember these dates and names, don’t worry about how to actually perform you can learn that after graduation and you have passed the licensing test.
To a point I see why since grads can’t work if they can’t pass the test, but it’s possible to teach both job skills and testing requirements.
