Daughter of Tiger Mom gets into Harvard
- jonhendry 16y agoBig deal, she's a legacy.
- zheng 16y agoExactly. Two parents as alumni? This would be a bigger story if she hadn't gotten in.
- patrickgzill 16y agoUpper crust Manhattan kid gets into Harvard ... film at 11.
- steve-howard 16y agoAdditionally, I don't think anyone was criticizing the book on the basis that working kids like slaves doesn't produce academic results, just that doing so may be harmful and unethical. Even Mussolini got the trains running on time.

- steve-howard 16y agoThanks, I guess I never looked beyond the claims of the high-school survey of European history. There are still, no doubt, plenty of examples of people achieving certain results at the expense of more important ones (treating people like people, for instance).
- defen 16y agoIs this a late April Fools' joke? This reads like a parody of middle class striving meets stereotypical Asian obsession with "face".
- Jach 16y agoBig whoop? Apparently they accepted 2158 people this year. http://crimson-ws2.hcs.harvard.edu/article/2011/3/31/percent-class-students-year/ http://crimson-ws2.hcs.harvard.edu/article/2011/3/31/percent... Where are the other 600 word articles for the 2100 other acceptances? What mothers (if any) do those people have? You could write a book!
- jheimark 16y agowin for Brown!
- rickdangerous1 16y agoWhat the hell has "beauty" got to do with getting into Harvard? Is college entrance a beauty contest now?
- joeynelson 16y agoI wish I had some way of finding out where the writer went to college.
- thrill 16y agoWarm congratulations to her.
