Re <<Why a Student With a 1590 SAT Score Was Rejected by 16 Colleges ... Zhong’s treatment is an important reminder of the injustice many face when Americans fail to see all people as we should: as individuals.>> The self-deprecating giggle going around a grouping is that any East Asian parents of kids not scoring 1600 / 1600 should be ashamed and walk in chains. Zhong's chances were not very good, we are told, for East Asians must sport SAT score 1,600, play a musical instrument brilliantly-enough, do a sport super-fine, and exhibit very-high social quotient, else less- to no-chance at enhanced upward progression. The organised group is comprised of 1,000+ mostly Chinese, a splash Koreans and a dash of Japanese parents, all mostly mothers, and all with kids in any one of 12 universities (and no, other then the obvious I am unable to name the 12). Some Chinese mother started the group and now it is her full time occupation, to issue invitations and dream up enhancements. We did not know the club existed until the coconut got accepted and matriculated at one of the 12 schools, and got contacted from the get-go. I refused to engage, but the mrs could not resist, of course. The group, of course, is starting to (try to) tentatively organise get-togethers of the kids in small groups. Unsure of popularity of such. The coconut wants to have nothing to do with the group or its get-togethers. I, like the nut, believe in the all-natural (organic, cage-free / free-range, no additives) approach to growing up. The most I did was to provide each of the kids their very own Amazon Kindle upon reaching age ~8. To me, such platform(s) are still a curiosity but might turn into something big or even huge. In the meantime whilst Eileen Gu's 1,580 SAT is just so-so even as her mom graduated from arguably the top #1 or 2 school in China, and her unknown dad graduated Stanford, and unknown paternal grandfather graduated Stanford. Eileen's sport feats are difficult to beat, especially given pairing with her academics, unless deliberately replicated to incorporate 3+ generations of doubtlessly-awesome natural fine-tuning So, no, Mr Zhong's hard-slog easy to explain especially if the schools put a cap on (to be polite / and PC) Asian or (straightforward) East Asian acceptance, and they do. My wife wisely pointed out that the founders of China's big tech Tencent (of WeChat) all attended a hereto then no-name school in Shenzhen, hung out together like brothers, and became co-founders of Tencent. Mr Zhong needs to run into his band of brothers. Idea for another grouping :0))) vice.com The identity of Eileen Gu’s father is not publicly known. Gu Yan only mentioned that her daughter’s father graduated from Harvard, while the paternal grandfather went to Stanford... ... My mom told me, studying in China for ten days is the same as studying in America for a year. heightline.com father Eileen Gu Parents: Who Are Her Father, Mother, and Family Members? ... mystery on MSM remains a mystery, but is a known-known of The Group. Would make a super premise for movie.
