They can use whatever criteria they want, everyone applying has damn near perfect grades and test scores. They want to know if you were president of the chess club.

My daughter received a scholarship from Princeton, only to receive notice they were rescinding... they mistakenly thought she was a minority. 1986

How is 4.65 imperfect? You know nothing about his school or courses he took. 4.65 is pretty dang high. He might have extracurricular activities. I’m sure MIT cares about extracurricular with a 1250 and 600 in math.

LSU doing the same shite. Past 2 classes most diverse of all time. Not saying they reject a kid with 1590 on SAT but they’re not far behind on the insanity scale. They lowered the acceptance standards to get more diverse.

If you can identify as a different gender then I don't see why you can't identify as a different race.

Throw this mularky back in their liberal face and watch them get dizzy running in circles.

If he was POC, he would get the Brinks truck backed up to any college he wanted. Interview, extracurricular, gpa or not.

In a couple of decades the ivy leagues will be a joke because they just want mediocre minorities in their ranks.

Aren't you the stupid memes guy? That would explain your comment.

He is going to be an engineer, doesn't matter if he was in the French club and student govt.

He is going to Georgia Tech. He will do alright.

And was rejected bc he is Asian.

Probably not. Those listed elite colleges have more applicants with extremely high SAT scores than they have slots in their incoming freshman classes. They have to reject a number of applications of applicants with extremely high SAT scores because they can't admit them all. And the elite colleges also have to admit some art and humanities students in order to fill out all of their programs.

The question is whether this guy was offered admission to any elite schools. If he has educational opportunity, he is no better or worse off than anyone else.

Come to LSU, baw! Study, go to football games, have fun, meet a LA girl, move to Houston or Dallas after graduation, travel back to LA to see her family and catch some games, take her family in after a hurricane, and learn to bitch about how bad LA is until the day you die!

This is not cliché. This is fact. Well stated.

Wanna bet that there aren't black applicants with way less of every measurable who got in before him?

It’s a bullshite process at this point if you don’t fit into certain boxes. My son has a 3.9 unweighted over 4. Something weighted and a 32 on his act and was rejected by schools that his scores historically get into easily. The test optional schools have been the worst because they aren’t even hiding it.. Schools flaunt demographics like schools used to flaunt famous alums wearing demos like a badge of courage Especially the alphabet peeps.

Took my daughter to do the tour of campus for Louisiana juniors. They talked about the huge rise in diversity recently at LSU. The admissions guy was a black dude from Chicago.
