@@thierry18 Google has a university program that offers a certificate equivalent to university studies. The program costs $300 and takes six months to complete.

Brain not found, student loans debt only matters is if you won't get a solid full-time job after college. He's competitive enough to get a google job at 18, the student loan debt won't matter since he could pay it off easily after college with a similar top tier job
Many of those schools are highly competitive but I never understood why race is on a college application. Get admitted or not based on your GPA, Test scores, and extracurricular activities. Best of luck to this young man. He seems to have his act together.
@@seanroddy1922 and if everyone is black or asian or white in a school, so? Most cab drivers are brown. Most nurses are filipino. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. So what if most highly educated Americans become all Asian?
They want to know your race so they can illegally discriminate against you. Prejudices must be smashed!! Investigate all of them, they are taking bribes.
get over yourself lOL literally all the other kids at his school probably had his stats and better.... he went to Palo Alto, one of the most competitive areas in the world. If it werent for raced based admissions (that help legacy WHITE people more), your schools would be filled with just filled with people by CA so lol good bye. nothing about him screams that he is more special than others.
Well, UC unis such as Berkeley and UCLA didn’t even implement any form of affirmative action. Harvard has certainly been known to employ biassed practices against Asian applicants. Do you mean that Berkeley and the other UC unis still found a way to emulate this within the system, even though they don’t take race into account in the application? How so? And honestly, MIT has a reputation for not caring much for superfluous factors and focusing on academic merit. I am shocked that even they did not accept him. Is it possible that there was something severely wrong with his application (e.g. a mistake or factual inaccuracy, a bad recommendation, record of some disciplinary incident, or perhaps inadequate writing skills)? This story is… unbelievable.
@@a.r.7885 these admissions officers are like private detectives! They may not have an official policy They have a private unwritten policy I'm.sutr his name or social media have his race away
If elite colleges did not accept him, there are thousand more colleges in the country to keep applying to or even abroad in Europe. Its unfortunate that such hard worker is having a hard time. And I am glad he got a better deal.
All admission officers must be investigated. Search their bank records. Im sure you will find something. Investigate their spouse’ non-profit and financial irregularities. Get the FBI involved. Glasnost now!!
Elite colleges are looking for wealthy parents so that they can make "donation" to their school. Then they look at the academics so they can keep up the prestige of the collegiate name. Real talk. I suspect there are a lot of "smart Asian applicants so what will tip the scales? Probably who their parents are or who they are related to, influence, and how much wealth they have as they are more likely to "donate" to a program that their kids is involved in. See what I'm saying? For example, you have two of the same Asian kid going for the same spot and they are equally qualified with the same credentials and achievements, but one of kid's dad own Samsung. Now who are they going to pick? you already know.
This smart young man has just been saved from $600,000 + of college debt. I've got some life behind me and at least 2/3 of the most successful people I have ever known in my life did not attend college, at least not a 4-year or Ivy League school. I wish him all the best!
Exactly! We all know it. They know it. We must audit all admission officers. Investigate their family. Pull bank records. Examine phone calls. Corruption must be stopped now!!
@boomboom141 exactly these comments are idiotic. I went to 2 high schools one with predominantly Black kids and Black students still have to take the SATs to get into college. My Sis is Black and scored high on the SATs, went to school for engineering. The other school was more diverse Black students still had to study for the SATs, just like the white students. One Black guy I knew wanted to go to an Ivy league. He got into Princeton, good on him cause he was terrible at sports lol 😆. Crazy how the videos about a successful Asian kid and White people are still hating on African Americans.
it might forget to mention out of 300 or so classmates, his grade is about 200th, that hurt his applications, if he is top 10, will be different. his daa works at google too.
It was never otherwise for UC unis like Berkeley and UCLA, yet they still rejected him. Furthermore, I know so many Asian applicants who were accepted to Berkeley and who were likely far less accomplished than him. I also know Asian applicants who were less accomplished (than myself) and who received favourable responses from unis within HYPSM. There must be something more to this story…
People need to understand that life is super competitive nowadays Just bc you excel in academics doesn't mean you are top tier.. Life is all politics, it's not what you know, it's who you know. I had a friend get accepted to USC with a 3.2 GPA he comes from a rich family. not taking anything away from this guy he is clearly a top performer however, we live in a time where everyone is you have to stand out in everyway possible not just the blueprint original form. I'm happy he got a job with google well deserved.
All that you've explain is what's different from 1st world to 3rd world countries. 1st world countries shouldn't be as corrupt as 3rd world countries. And, if America is heading towards the system that you've highlighted then we have a dire systematic issue at hand. We need to be moving away from a corrupt system, where the American dream rewards those who work hard.
… His school, perhaps? According to another comment, he was not even ranked within the top 10% of his graduating class. He should have attended a school with mediocre peers in a small, provincial town of the USA. That might have elevated his comparative status :( I know a great many people who share that one variable in common with this young man. And they were accepted by Berkeley, which doesn’t take into account that one thing (to be hypothetically changed) in their admissions decisions. You might consider changing one thing of yourself. It ends with -ism. Would you oblige in advancing a little guess of your own? 💀
I am tremendously impressed with Stanley Zhong. I cannot believe that they would reject this fine young man with his sensational SAT score and sensational grades. And he is so articulate. How could this happen in any rational system?
4.42 weighted gpa, 1590 sat score. Thanks Google for stepping in. I just watched a yt video of a young man getting into every Ivy League school, but he only got an equivalent of 1490. This is getting out of hand where a near perfect score gets so many rejections.
Oh by the way, GPA's are worthless. Even as GPA's rise, ACT scores are steadily and alarmingly decreasing USA ranks among the lowest in PISA scores within the top tier nations. News article>>>>> "High school students’ ACT scores have been on a downward spiral for six consecutive years, painting a bleak picture of academic preparedness among the nation’s youth. This year, approximately 1.4 million students took the test, representing an increase from the previous year. However, the average composite score declined by 0.3 points compared to 2022....ACT CEO Janet Godwin points out that the decline in ACT scores is indicative of systemic problems in the education system. Despite rising student GPAs and self-perceived preparedness, graduates are not adequately equipped for postsecondary success in college and career. "
He got accepted go 2 out of 18 schools. He deliberately decided not to go UT. So, its disingenuous to imply he was rejected by all schools. Also, what did he write in his essay? What did his letters say? I am glad he picked up coding from his dad, but he doesn't look like he was involved in a lot of extracurriculars, either. In either case, im glad he has a good job coffer..
To be fair, UC Berkeley's EECS has annually 12000 applicants. The school of Engineering has 10k people have GPA > 4.6, 4000 of them GPA > 4.8. His 4.42 is not even close. Berkeley EECS only takes 500. He is an Asian. I am an Asian but I don't think there is any race issue here.
@@boomboom141I’m selfishly relieved that it is over. Now, what will these imbeciles say when they encounter an accomplished, qualified, and intelligent black person who strives for nothing short of excellence ? They can but writhe in the grotesque display of their inferiority 😅
I strongly don’t think being Asian is an issue. We’re Asian American and my son graduated from one of the school on his list. Many of my son’s buddies were Asian Americans too. In fact, his schools has a visible population of Asia Americans from across the country. Something else is missing and we won’t know why. I do know the competition to gain admission is extremely intense. Very disappointing to hear his story. UT Austin is a great top ranking STEM university. Don’t miss out a great college opportunity and experience there. I’ve been taking to some friends in the industry and admission communities, I forgot to add that he’s stats is among top tier but to think that thousands if not more than ten of thousands of applicants to these institutions, there will be handful that will meet his stats and a lot more be very well rounded. If he thinks that being top tier in software engineering work is the answer as a holistic profile, most top ranking universities are not trade schools and will not want to be one. Hence, they are seeking potential future leaders, not just a high flying young ambitious software engineer.
literally all the other kids at his school probably had his stats and better.... he went to Palo Alto, one of the most competitive areas in the world. nothing about him screams that he is more special than others because quite frankly, his peers are achieving what he has and more. this is not to downplay what he has achieved because getting a 3.97 is still amazing. however, this is to put in perspective the landscape in which he grew in. Plus, his dad is a freaking manager at Google lOL..... nepotism. man
Exactly! I am from Palo Alto. I grew up in that environment. I know Asian people who attended Paly or Gunn HS in his and the preceding application cycle(s). Many of them received favourable responses from a number of universities and chose Berkeley, which they now attend. A few attend unis like Stanford. It is disappointing and disheartening to hear of his experience with admissions, but many comments are drawing conclusions based on inadequate information or altogether spreading ridiculous notions. Thank you for affording them a little bit of clarity, even if most don’t possess the faculties to process it. Furthermore, 18 seems like a substantial number of universities, but a lot of people who ultimately attend highly prestigious institutions received that number of rejections (or waitlists, followed by rejections). Some people who are accepted by HYP are rejected by UC Davis or the like. UCs are known for having no ‘safety school’ status, because they are so unpredictable. They also reject overqualified applicants to protect their yield rates. The most selective schools are obviously unpredictable, because they accept so few applicants that it is difficult to assess one’s chances. To account for this, a number of students (myself included) apply to many more universities, ranging from a total of 25 to 50. I applied to approximately 30. The acceptances were the ones I least expected. So were the rejections.
@@jusme7120 Let me share a dose of reality… one of the safety school had offered my son a full ride to their school and I suspect they knew he would be accepted to some of his “reach schools” of higher tier. They wanted him to attend their school of lower their and scholarship is the best form of attraction. Guess what? We DIDN’T even apply for scholarships to any of his schools. If our application is purely based on academic merits and not athletic based, then it is nothing more than pure academic competition - that simple. Where is the corruption? What prejudice? What bank account audit? What cell phone record? Application to top universities is just that highly competitive. My son got rejected by many of his dream schools too. We just don’t run around calling corruption. Attending a top university is not an entitlement.
