关于歧视，看看今年小藤康奈尔的录取情况。白男SAT2010录取，亚洲男2170拒绝

亚洲男的经历闪光点比白男多得多。民主，平等是忽悠人的。

• Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Model UN Outstanding and Distinguished Awards (at different conferences; 10th and 11th), Stamp Design 2nd place (10th), 3rd place in speech competition (regional, 10th), New Jersey Scholars Program Semi-Finalist, AP Scholar, National Merit Commended

Subjective:• Essays: Can't comment on the quality since I hate reading what I write, but they were different (I use a colloquial style when writing).
• ECs: Model United Nations (Vice President 11th, President 12th), Debate Team (Captain 11th and 12th), Co-Founder and Captain of Science Olympiad (11th and 12th), National Honors Society (11th and 12th)
• Volunteer/Community service: Hospital volunteer (100+ hours)
• Teacher Recs: I would guess they were good. I waived my right to read, but I get along quite delightfully with the teachers that I requested to write my recs.
• Counselor Rec: Probably good since I love my counselor and visit her every day.

Other Factors:• State or Country: New Jersey
• School Type: Large public school
• Ethnicity: Asian
• Gender: Male
• Income Bracket: $200,000+
• Hook (if any):
Reflection:• Strengths: Essays, ECs, rigor of course load
• Weaknesses: GPA, test scores (in comparison to other Asians)
• Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: My low GPA and SAT scores for an Asian.

General Comments: Took me a while because I didn't want to post immediately after -- it'd be weird to be excited about a rejection. I'm not sure if the alternate schools actually read my application. To be honest, I wasn't surprised or upset. After 5 minutes of receiving the decision, my life was normal. But it's for the best! Good luck to everyone who's going!

Also, from the four school districts I know, only one Asian was accepted this year ED. Very strange. Oh well.
