this is what it takes these days. this post is from college confidential.

Decision: Accepted

Objective:• SAT I (breakdown): 2400 1 sitting

• ACT:

• SAT II: 800 Math II, 800 Chem, 800 Physics, 800 World History, 780 Bio E

• Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0

• Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 1/500

• AP (place score in parenthesis): Calculus AB 5 Calculus BC 5 Physics B 5 Chemistry 5 English Language and Composition 5 World History 5

• IB (place score in parenthesis):

• Senior Year Course Load: AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Macroeconomics, AP Government, AP Spanish, English 4

• Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): Intel STS Semifinalist, AIME 3x, USABO Semifinalist, 2nd Place California Math League, AMC12 School Winner 2x, National Merit Scholar, AP Scholar with Distinction, Rennselaer Medalist

Subjective:• Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Local youth symphony 1st violinist (4 yrs, assistant concertmaster), private violin teacher (3 yrs), private tutor (3 yrs), school Math Team captain, Science Bowl member

• Job/Work Experience: Research intern at Stanford School of Medicine

• Volunteer/Community service: NHS, District coordinator for UNICEF Tap Project, School UNICEF Club Treasurer/Secretary, volunteering at local food pantries and homeless shelters

• Summer Activities: Orchestra camp (4 yrs), biomedical research (1 yr)

• Essays:

Common app was about volunteering at a local food pantry and how that inspired me to fight poverty in my area, and how I plan to go into health care legislation to help the underprivileged obtain affordable health care.

Supplement was about my work experience with an autistic boy at an elementary summer school and how that shaped my aspirations to be a professor.

• Teacher Recommendation:

Math teacher for 3 yrs, and math team coach. Knew me well.

Spanish teacher for 2 yrs, saw a lot of growth in my personality and character as I tried to master a new language.

Biology teacher who helped me on my research. Knew me well and described my humor.

• Counselor Rec: Superb

• Additional Rec: Letter from Stanford professor. Said that I was one of the most brilliant high schoolers he has ever worked with.

• Interview: Didn't get an alumni interview (odd, because everyone else at my school did) but had an interview with an adcom over the phone 2 weeks ago. Went well, but I was really nervous.

• Weaknesses: Ethnicity...? On paper my application looks like a cookie-cutter Asian

• Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Our school is rather diverse and our school district is rated one of the worst in the nation. I think it helped that no one has gotten into Harvard for the past 3 yrs.

• Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:

Accepted: Harvard, Princeton, Caltech (EA), Columbia (Rabi Scholar), UPenn, UCBerkeley Regents, USC Trustees Scholarship

Waitlist: MIT

General Comments:

The guy's parents earn more than $200K per year and he probably went to a rich suburban high school. He plays fucking violin and wants to be a doctor. People bitch about reverse discrimination against Asians, but it's not about their race. They're all. the. same. Can you imagine how shitty the college experience would be if the class were 85% Asian as it would be if they accepted people solely based on GPA/SAT scores? Blacks have lower numbers but at least they improve the sports teams and liven up the parties.

An all-Asian Harvard could eliminate the school of architecture and graphic design and just convert HUG into an extension of HMD.

Acceptance into HUG could be an eight-year HUG-HMD program.

look, you can't tell if someone is a superstar from what they did in HS outside of sports and maybe mathematics.

this kid is an Asian striver. he made AIME 4 times without ever making it to USAMO, he is not good at math; he also sucks at sports.

he did well at USABO or whatever, but biology is memorization.

he is not a bad candidate, but enough with this superstar shit.

making aime is ok but not that hard. the gap between aime and usamo is massive. it's like only 250 people vs. 10,000 or so.

I think the legitimate argument is that colleges are supposed to function to make the US a truly socially mobile place. A smart kid from the projects can actually escape his poverty if he gets into HUG. If HUG started to select only upper middle class and upper class overachievers with tons of money to afford the internships and education then it would be standing in the way of functioning for social mobility.

This just shows what intel and accomplishments are shit in America. This guy is an AZN faggot. If you saw him anywhere you wouldnt think anything. The MAX he can do in life is be some fucking paper pushing piece of shit.

I'd rather have much more average credentials but know how to work the system, how to be social, and have a penis bigger than 2 inches.

Math team is NBD - you show up at a classroom at lunch time a few weeks out of the year and take a math test. Maybe have a practice session sometimes. Not really much of an extracurricular.

false, he made it to the USAMO competition and he's not just another Mu Alpha Theta member. That's pretty impressive because it requires you to take a nationally administered test and score high enough to advance to subsequent rounds. The next level above that is IMO, I believe. That's the International Math Olympiad. Basically, the 6 most genius math students in high school are selected per country and compete in Greece.

The jump from USAMO to IMO is a big one, but most of the dudes participating in USAMO are fucking hoss at math and science.

Check out the past members of IMO though, they're pretty sick. I knew one of them in 2004. He is making multimillion dollars at dat hejfund in NYC. Parties it up just about every weekend.

credited. the other posters are jelly bros who have no idea what they're talking about. this asian dude was not someone who just won some local math contests. USAMO is VERY hard to get; you have to get a high combined score on both the AMC and AIME to qualify. if i'm not mistaken only around 250 high school students in the country are invited to write the USAMO exam, which is all proofs. to be on the IMO team you really have to be a fucking genius.

one of my best friends did USAMO all 4 years of high school, got a 800 math SAT when he was in 6th grade and got a 5 on the BC calculus exam in 7th grade. he ended up going to harvard and first week of freshman year he decided to take math 55, arguably the toughest math class at harvard. he said he felt like the dumbest kid there because they were all IMO members and gold medalists. so he dropped it and went down to math 25.

why are the two lifestyles mutually exclusive?

Playing sports - why is it a better use of time than learning the math/science that this dude is? You can still exercise and be healthy without committing the time to team-sports.

Making Mistakes - this happens throughout life no matter what you're doing. Don't see why being an average american doing jackshit in hs makes it any more meaningful.

Being young and in love - you know he wants dat wgwag. Most people on xo probably can't touch this guy's resume and intelligence and still have 0 success with their love life.

It sounds like you're just mad at the stereotypes?

Not gonna deny that those are some possible benefits... but I honestly think they are only reaped by those that are successful at it, i.e. big, fast, athletic negroes, whites, and latinos. Do you think the shittier players on a team feel awesome when they are a bench warmer? Do they have respect for an authority figure that doesn't give them playing time? Do they have school spirit and camaraderie with people who could likely make fun of them for their meek, beta physical attributes?

Maybe he plays basketball at the YMCA? Fuck if I know, but this dude has way too high of an opportunity cost to be dabbling with athletic teams.
