I'm curious. In your experience, was it just those activities (Violin, cello, piano, etc) that were beaten to death and no longer desirable, or was more about the uniformity of Asian applicants?
For example, if a white kid had the same piano + math achievements as an Asian one did in the same year, would he stand out more?
- brandnewlow 15y agoThe white kid might stand out a bit more, but he'd probably get lost in the crush, too. There's got to be a twist, there's got to be an angle. So a kid with incredible credentials who plays the violin and is awesome at math....who grew up in an igloo is going to get extra attention. That same kid who went to a math/science academy in NYC has a tough path in front of him.
