So an Asian male who qualifies as a software engineer for Google is only good for a community college? Something does not feel right here.
He was accepted into other colleges and they were are good schools. This vid just highlights the denials.
@@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart UT Austin and University of Maryland were the only two (out of 18) that he got accepted into.
Meritocracy over Affirmation Action
All the top spots are getting filled up by new and old money people are playing dumb because they're scared of these people but you can't blame affirmative action anymore it's gone.
Skin color is not right
If he got denied by 16 colleges, that is a sign that he doesn't need to go to college, and he doesn't need that student loan debt either. Fresh from high school he got hired as a software engineer at Google speaks volume. Accept the blessing and grow in the company.
Yeah, then I guess most people of The color does not need to go to college.
He just saved 4 years of his life not getting indoctrinated at any of those brain washing centers.
While a heart warming story, I don't think many companies will take the same lead and hire HS graduates.
His dad works at Google btw
I am quite surprised that he got rejected by Cal Poly and UCSB. Something doesn't sound right.
My son was rejected by those schools. 4.0 UW and 4.4 W. All the hard core classes AP Calculus BC and Chem and Physics. Asian CS applicant.
@@temle7489 It's alright. Read Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. He brilliantly illustrates how it's better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Your son can go to a less renowned school and still flourish- maybe even more so than if he went to an "elite" school.
I googled "how many applicants does Cal Poly reject". The first answer, about 12,000 with straight A's. This kid applied to 19 colleges because all applicants have to - and he ignored the colleges' preference for well-rounded people. He "only" got 2 colleges and a job. Nothing to see here.
@@intercat4907 The kid pretty much had straight As in all subjects. And what does well rounded really mean in today's society anyway?
@@AmenSOS It means that, instead of stomping around with a tiki torch you find out what colleges you want, find out what THEY want, qualify, and fill out an application. The stats I posted are from the Cal Poly site, and every college tells you what they mean by "well-rounded".
Stanley was rejected not only by the top schools but also by the state colleges, which are much easier to get into and only require a 3.0 GPA. He was rejected because of his skin color, as the quota for Asians was met.
Is it really just Asian or just Chinese. Colleges should really make their quotas public, with full demographic disclosures. Judging by the political landscape, and the schools rejecting him being of liberal bent, I wouldn't be surprised if he was demographically blacklisted for a few categories.
None of the schools he applied to “only” required a 3.0 GPA. Don’t talk out of your ass if don’t even know the gpas for these schools.
California got ride of affirmative actions decades ago. You may be right about schools keeping their campus a certain way now
To start with he’s not a historic black female lesbian illegal immigrant.
and be disable too, that sure helps.
You forget being Trans.
or trans or non binary genderqueer who identifies himself as a table!
He don't need to pay student loan no more😅
It’s the "systemic racism." If he were black, and with high GPA & SAT, then he would have been accepted to every single college that he applied to and more.
If he was black, he'd have gotten into all of those colleges with an SAT around 1300.
Wow this kid has a gpa and test score that is higher than at least 95% of high school students and he can’t get into 16 universities!? Not even public state schools like Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington? No doubt he would get into many of these if he wasn’t Asian.
My daughter had lower test scores and gpa when she went to Michigan. She now works at Google and she said they just hired him so welcome to the real world young man, you got a 4-5 year head start on all your peers. Google only accepts about to 2% of applicants so you are in a place more exceptional than any of those schools.
1:30 "He came across as too uni-dimensional"? What does that mean? He specialized in only one area?
He was too analytical and too Asian. If he played football or basketball in high school, and if he were black or Hispanic, he would've been considered multi-dimentional.
To put it bluntly, it means he's just a typical Asian, nothing special.
Yes. Want a competitive college? Read their brochures years ahead. They ask for your academic skills, sports background, community involvement, volunteer hours, and social life. Other applicants will do all that. Tens of thousands of applicants will be rejected, many from several places.
It likely means his extracurriculars ( HS clubs , work experience , research , Internships , awards , contests etc .... any thing that indicates he is more than just a kid with good grades that wants to have a lucrative career in tech .. as profiles like that are a dine a dozen to the schools he applied to ) were not all that impressive
@@krnpowr Uh no ... those attributes would not have make him more dimensional ... as there are numberers Black an Brown kid who play a sports and have good grades .... there nothing spacial at that ... or nothing spacial enough to get then into highly competitive schools
What would he gain from going to a CC when he has a 4.42 and 1590?
a sense of inadequacy purposely designed by USA.
“Other very qualified applicants”
😂
BLM and DACA members
Qualified by skin color.
@@lHurtYourFeeIings ... maybe as one factor for a school interested in diversity ,... but mostly GPA , extracurriculars , letters of rec essays etc that read to those students being deemed qualified
@@Goodguy1ful Sure buddy!
This is what Affirmation Action does to worthy candidates.
Yes, aswell as the fact Colleges are looking for money, not students.
It's white women that benefit the most from affirmative action but Asians are honorary white so it's the black and brown peoples fault all the time. Yall (#!nks ain't as smart as yall think of yall don't know this
And this is definitely what Asian Anti-Affirmative Action groups want you to think. And how white supremacist-supporting lawyers bring cases to the Supreme Court. They don't care about Asian students - they're using their parents' desperation so when they win (as they have) they can turn around and use against anyone who isn't white. Including Asian students.
Affirmation action was literally just overturned, so that’s definitely not the reason why. instead of y’all realizing he’s just not as impressive compared to other students you want to blame other minorities🤣
He got rejected from schools in CA. CA banned affirmative action for college admissions in 1996.
If his name was Tyrone Washington or Guadalupe Rodriguez, his grades and scores could have been much worse, and he would've gotten accepted to all the colleges that rejected him.
Lmao. True.
Proof?
And yall Asians (that are supposed to be smart) are forgetting about all the rich ỷt people with legacys or those that pay to get their kids in, or all the white women that benefit the most from affirmative action? Yeah cuz yall are ỷt @$$$ kissers that only want to put the blame on Black and Brown folks. Maybe that's why yall are getting rejected left and right, for being a bunch of bigots.
@@squirrel9760 Stop it. We all know the truth.
@@squirrel9760BLACK students have 220 SAT pt advantage over Asians. This is a fact
Looks like the advice from this segment is that Asian males who want to study CS should just be content to go to community colleges?
There are so many inaccuracies in this report- its inflammatory
If Stanley was a member of an under represented race, he would have gotten into the top ivy league colleges with full scholarships... Just compare his stats with those who got the full ride scholarships...
His race, asian race
I know Stanford is famous or notorious for wanting its students to have shown some inclination to do something to serve society. Therefore I you have no volunteer work indicating at least some interest in bettering society in some way, you used to be unlikely to get into Stanford. When I was in college MIT used to be the NERD college that admitted people solely on academic prowess and intellectual prowess (test scores). Of course that was before David Saxon was President of MIT. I am not sure how this guy managed to get turned down by 16 top schools. It seemed like he should have been able to get into a few at least based on his academic and intellectual qualifications.
He did. He was accepted by 2 colleges and got a job.
He made a free app (Rabbitsign) to help poor communities with contract signing when he was in middle school. Your assumption that he was rightfully rejected shows how racist we are to Asians. If he was a BLACK kid with 1300 SAT and got rejected from these mediocre schools, there would be another BLACK friday riot.
@@xcqematic1stop with the racism. It's white woman that benefit the most from affirmative action. That's why yall Asians are rejected left and right. Yall continue to blame Black and Brown for anything.
I suspect they're omitting some important information in order to sensationalize the story. He applied as a C-Sci major to the most competitive programs in the county. In this case, with his stats, he's kinda average for his major and the programs. This happened a few decades ago to my brother applying to UC Berkeley engineering department. It was rumored they only took a handful of students. I suspect if he didn't declare his major he might have given himself a better chance at acceptance. I know for a fact, the UCs in particular are full of Asians with far less impressive stats than this kid. They're 100% correct in demanding transparency, however. Particularly in any institutions receiving my tax dollars.
Stanley should have applied to the IVY LEAGUE schools as a Liberal Arts major and then switched to Electrical Engineering!
That IS a way to go. More guidance counselors should give this pro tip. Ppl don’t realize there is a quota for each major. And the competition for the popular majors is staggering. Apply to an unpopular one, get in the door, and switch out after the first academic quarter.
@@MyHandle4455 , It's not easy to do that, they look at your current grades before you can switch.
His ECs consists of coding competitions and developing an app. He won't get in as a liberal arts major if his ECs are focused on computer science.
If this guy is good enough to be hired by Google right out of HS, that's far better than going to some elite college where many CS students are studying to do just that once they graduate.
You have to wonder if it makes sense anymore to spend $100K - $250K for a college degree? Then wait inline with 100K++ other applicants hoping for a job.
OR, focus on a skill or specialty where top industry leaders are streamlining the process and hiring talented individuals directly out of high school school.
Congratulations Stanley and wiish you well on your exciting future. And to Google for leading the way!
100k? Yes. 250k? No. Go to a respectable in-state school and learn useful things. Don't spend 250k at some private school on a major that isn't hiring.
it's understandable why he got rejected by Stanford and MIT, but the UCs? Reverse discrimination for sure, shame on those school admissions.
Reverse discrimination?
Asians are White now? Your logic is incredible.
These schools ask for an applicants’ FAFSA to be completed by end of year. That helps them decide who they will admit. This young student is obviously not rich.
Universities are businesses. They break admissions down as follows:
-% of Brilliant kids are necessary to keep the school attractive, competitive and eligible for research dollars
-% of very Rich kids to ensure they become future alumni and mommy and daddy supports large endowment funds. This group is super important to the Institution because a University is run like a business.
-% of Kids who are bright but middle class and may need some financial aid.
-Lastly, the poor brilliant scholarship kids who make the schools look inclusive and philanthropic.
The poor and middle class kids are there to give the rich kids a more well rounded experience. The schools cater to the rich.
So, Asians are rejected more because more of them apply to college as a group opposed to Whites, Blacks and Hispanics.
He’s ASIAN KID. He living in CALI & apply 16 SHOOL IN CALI & ALL SHOOLS DENY HIM BECAUSE HES FK ASIAN.

It’s extremely hard for in state California residents who are Asian males to get into schools like Stanford, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.
And a couple state schools. Ridiculous
not true AA is banned @@MyHandle4455
The issue with the admission process is clearly not objective. This is proven with his case.
admissions have never ever ever been objective .. at least not based on stats ... as colleges would be a much more rote , simple and less interesting places if they simply admitted studnets based on some sort of objective stats.

How so? You have the black box metrics?
@@Goodguy1ful Colleges have been uninteresting for decades now. They don't encourage diversity of thought and foster some of the worst cultures in the country.
@@Distress. I strongly disagree with all three of your points. .
CCC have a great partnership with UC, CSU, and historically black universities. I recommend that path too
So if someone of his stature is rejected by so many school, what change do we have?
All of these comments blaming races that got nothing to do with this you need to chill with your racism and prejudice, take a chill pill ! My black cousins were straight A students who finished high school and community college at the same time , they got rejected by Ivy League universities for medicine but still got into normal universities with good scholarships. The only person that I know that got into Ivy League was for masters and years after working in his field !
He got rejected not based on merit but because those other schools needed to fill their diversity quotas with lower achieving students.
He should skip college and just go straight to work for Google. He'll learn more working at Google with real life working experience in the first few years than to go for his bachelor's or masters. Most importantly, he will have no student loan debt.
Good for him! He didn’t lose any money and time going thru “ indoctrination”college. He will be rising up in no time 🚀 plus the standards don’t matter if admission is based on a category of people. Merits first?
he needs to put his ethnicity as BLACK at the college applications
that would have been a far worse move as most if not all of the schools he was rejected from are are 5% at the most ... and maybe 20 to 40% Asian
@@Goodguy1ful You don't get it do you? Why do you think that population is at about 5%? The schools want to increase that 5% number for diversity purposes so they will accept lesser gpas, sat scores, less extra curricular activities for other races. Asians are discriminated against when it comes to admissions. All caused by Affirmative Action, even though they finally banned it in most California Universities but still practice it in the name of diversity. This is why there needs to be transparency in admissions if you want fairness for all citizens.
@@steveh5882 No, you don't get it . That number is 5% for myriad reasons .., 1 being that there are numerous Black students who get into some of these schools but choose HBCU's ... as for the Black students highly selective schools do admit .. they tend to be amazing highly qualified student . Highly selective schools do not admit students of any demographic unlikes the indicate in their app that they can 1. handle the rigor of the school ... and 2 have over all great extra curricular , letters of rec etc ... Unqualified Black kids do not get into highly selective schools through affirmative active -- that is a misunderstanding some seem to have .... and the UC;s have been race blind since 1998. There is transparency in admissions for admitted students as students can request to see the comments made about them by admissions officers .etc ... as for fair ness ... there has never been an objective fairness that can be proven as schools tend to admit the stunts they wish to admit based on the schools needs..... and it would ne nearly impossible to just judge students by scores etc as students come from so many different types of schools , with different types of grading styles etc ... where 97 at one school might be an A+ and an A at another school .
@@steveh5882 and if you look at the graduation rates at a place like Harvard .. you will find that Asian and Black students graduate e at about the same rate .. which indicates that the students Harvard admitted, Black or Asian, were qualified to handle their curriculum.
@@Goodguy1ful Keep believing that.
Software engineer aka “Make the software application more addictive “
Unqualified blacks stole his spot, period.
Tell us how many students were accepted with far lower qualifications because of Affirmative Action.
He’s not the only other highly qualified !
The education system should be race blind. Just have a reference number instead of name or ethnicity on the application. I see many higher GPA that can't get into big name schools.
Try applying for the other UC schools like UC Merced, Riverside to name a few. All UC are research schools.
For CS, it's the ability to code and experience gained over time. If you don't have experience, the name of the school helps get the interview but over time the years of experience matters more. In the industry, there are many people without degrees in CS but are software engineers. It's just another job over time. Many Sw engineers burn out after 7-10 years also and they quit.
Most companies do a coding tests and if you aren't a good coder or know computers well, it's still hard to get a job.
I’m very happy for him. But he is the exception rather than the rule. Most students end up getting student loans and crushing debt…like the Great American dream demands. 😎
If this kids last name wasn't Zhong he gets accepted at many of these institutions. Pretty sad commentary of American universities actually. The silver lining is this forced Mr Zhong to just skip all that money sucking experience and get a real job with a top company doing what he loves. Congrats to him
The question is does this open a lawsuit for the job he was hired for based on education requirements.
Anyone can be hired at will as long as they aren't denied due to belonging to a protected class. Ang if they are below a certain age their parents have to sign off.
it does not. owner can hire whoever they want regardless what requirements they posted on job ad.
We need more East Asian doctors. I always get treated better by East Asian doctors. Always.
And surprisingly East Asian doctors that are closeby (within 10 miles) are kind of hard to find in my network. I live in a suburb of Houston. Granted there's a pretty decent East Asian population in Houston but a lot of those doctors on the southwest side which is good 20 to 25 miles away from me (Houston is huge) which is close to an hour drive.
Some of the Indian doctors I've been to act like they barely even care. One of the Indian doctor even charged me a visit for giving me test results over the phone. He called it "telemedicine" when all he did was give me the test results over the phone which took less than 1 minute. But he still charged my insurance the cost of a full visit.
ahaha, indians lez go
We need more respect for asian americans in general. The asian american doctor thrown out of the United flight is a hint how America treats it's own asian americans in US society. Need more? Look at Pvt. Danny Chan, or the countless elderly asians murdered in the streets of America due to sinophobia.
Remember when everyone in the mainstream media was mad that the supreme court ruled against affirmative action.......
1:00 i doubt university of illinois means the one in chicago, i'm sure he applied to UIUC.
I don't buy the highly competitive line. Yes I think it was primarily because he was Asian.
Congrats 🎉
Change his last name and he will be accepted everywhere. The admission process is simply anti-Asian.
yet asians are ovverpreesnted
Can't blame affirmative action anymore.
It’s not surprising he got denied by some of the lower end colleges. They probably expected him to reject their offer, so they didn’t waste their time. The top schools… you have to examine the students granted entry in his applied major. I’m sure they were all brilliant. His father helped open the door to Google, but make no mistake, he got the job based on his own merit. I’m sure to some degree there still exists some sort of diversity filter for college applications. Just because affirmative action has been repealed doesn’t mean its influence is still not felt. Transparency is needed.
Thirty percent of admissions are bought in by rich people. They need to be transparent about that.
These days you don’t need degrees
This is not rare, Folks. He applied to 18 colleges because it's not rare. Applying to multiple colleges has become the standard. Focusing on competitive colleges and programs raises the chances of being rejected - for everyone.
Affirmative action is over now what’s the problem?
Someone let him know his website has a memory leak with one of the components halfway down the page.
Must be nice to have a consultancy to help you out, lol
I don't know if this is still the case, but top companies - creme de la creme - needed employees with top tier education. Companies, for lack of a better word - prepare firm resumes to entice multi-million dollar clients.
Unfortunately, it wasn't very gratifying or rewarding to have "community college" educated employees, as part of the team selected to work on your multi-million dollar, multi-billion dollar account.
I'm glad Google is changing that.
His father works at Google so they have some idea how he fits the job. If it was some other fellow, he probably won't be so lucky.
Seems like 16 of the "best" colleges are now obsolete.
BS, Kid could go to any Bay Area College, state or Uni for CS and get in to due to guaranteed admission. Not the mention, the kid can complete his first 2 years at CC and with the CA transfer program, can get into anyone of those schools. He's leaving out important information....
dont go into debt.. study, build up your portfolio or go to a state school much cheaper
Which two universities did accept him? It's not like he wasn't accepted everywhere. Maybe he could have attended one of the two that did accept him. He applied for Caltech, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and so on. Top schools. I see Cal Poly SLO didn't accept him. One of the high demand/top schools in the Cal State system. I bet CSU Northridge accepted him (or would accept him if he didn't apply). They have a good computer science program, but it wasn't prestigious enough for him. Colleges don't have unlimited spots in their STEM programs. Few qualify to go to those top schools. Anyway, indicating your ethnicity isn't required on a college application. If he didn't fill out that box, he probably would have similar results.
Did not get a single offer from California. Got accepted into U Texas at Austin and University of Maryland.
Thank you. Cal Poly rejected 12k applicants with 4.0 transcripts in one year recently (I googled. Gasp.) The victim game gets old, matched only by the ignorant outrage game.
@@fleur257 Neither do I.
@@fleur257 They do. Google "how many applicants accepted ______ College 2023." I got Poly the first try. You might have to look a little, but it's better than challenging a college on a comment section. Colleges can't read, ironically.
He should’ve tried in PR.
if he's some other race, he will receive offer from all those schools plus full scholarship. Does that sound fair to you?
Answer: his skin color
He was denied by 16 colleges because his name wasn't "Matavious Jackson."
Build and fund more schools instead of jails
The reason is because he's Asian.
This newscast is totally clueless. The guy got into Google!! What's this talk about community colleges? Sure looks like a jump the shark moment for the traditional university system.
Asians being discriminated against.
Future of this fine country ...good for him ....he should skip college go for the job get a nasters on side who cares whats on degree its whats in his head that counts
An Asian male student ...
What a horrible advice - telling a student who is top 0.00001 that he needs go go through a inferior school systems to transfer to a top level university is a joke. Why not fix the system and stop disseminating. We are not a society of meritocracy.
Maybe he should have had a rich actress mom lie for him.
Racism.
He shouldn't have identified as Asian.
Aww we dont want you to go into debt to us. Ok bye.
we all know why - he is not dark enough, man. too yellow.
"On Nov. 5, 1996, Californians voted on Proposition 209, also known as the California Civil Rights Initiative. It passed with 55% of the vote, ending affirmative action in California's state and public entities." For everyone claiming he was rejected by those schools because of Affirmative Action, please re-examine your facts.
Your faith in the law is touching. The University of California is quite open about its defiance of the state constitution, and the state itself has made it clear it won't enforce the law.
🤔… he’s Asain lol 🤷♂️
Rich is the real answer
Because he’s asian,
That’s why essays and supplementals are so important
Why doesn’t he share those so the world can see what really happened
They wanna play the race card and put the blame on Black and Brown communities because Asians are honorary ỷt and will never blame all the rich ỷt people with legacy or ỷt women that benefit the most from affirmative action. They are racist and so they only focus on the bad Black and Brown people.
His spot was taken by a 250 lb black lesbian named Shaniqua.
I don't know what all hat he presented as an applicant ( extracurriculars , letters of rec etc ) but from what I saw he had a number of challenges that might have led to his rejections. 1. All the schools listed were competitive to super competitive schools that tons of qualified top students with great applications apply to . 2. He shared that he had a 1590 SAT scores -- which is a great score but irrelevant when applying to the UC's and Cal states as they are test blind ( The don't consider the SAT or ACT when selecting students) . He mentioned that he had a weighted 4.4 which is great - but nothing special as there are ton of kids in the US and internationally who apply to the schools he applied to with similar or better GPA;s ..3 So it was going to come down to how great the rest of his app was ( Essays , letters of rec , extracurricular's etc ) or some spacial elite talent like sports , music etc ... I don't know all that he shared in his apps but from wha he did share nothing about him being rejected seems inherently odd or unfair .. or any more odd or unfair that the amount or great athletes rejected from making Olympic teams
Nah... he is just Asian and without the "DeMarcus" name. LOL
@@temle7489 Him being Asian might have had something to do with it. Many of the schools he applied to have large to significant asian student populates. So its possible that saw if Stanford got his app... and had to weigh it against an app from "Demarcus" ... and Demarcuss stats indicated that he could handle the rigor at Stanford ..and Demarcus was interested in being an English Lit major and Demarcus was a great lacrosse player ... and Stanford has very few Demarcus's who play lacrosse and wish to study English lit..... I could see how Stanford might choose to Deanrcus over an Asian student who wishes to be part of a major that is oversaturated in terms of prospective students and prospective Asian students .. if the Asian student in the clip were also looking tone an English lit major and excelled at lacrosse i suspect he would have had a better shot and admission
UCs also don't ask for letter of recommendation or essays.
@@dancemaniac3868 Correct , just the common app essay ( I have kids who've recently applied to colleges )
why ask, its life, may be he advocates communism or terrorism, something in his SA, get a copy of it to find out and share.
Its not just admissions systems. College programs see high SAT and high GPAs all the time because some parents can pump money into their education almost endlessly, sending them to study classes or cram schools from kinder. They are also looking at extra curriculars or what sets them apart from the other hundreds or thousands of high SAT and high GPA applications. Grade schools just shouldn't be hyper-focused on STEM either and have opportunities to have kids be more well rounded coming out of school.
Lots of kids do take a break year to either travel and explore the world upon high school graduation or start with community college. There, they can take classes for college credit, explore other subjects other than what they have been cramming for the better part of their lives and save some cash as well.
TBH: these schools are super competitive, and people either have done better, more interesting things, or are a legacy admissions. There are thousands of guys just like him. We don’t know what was on his essay, or his resume. He can apply elsewhere. This felt like whining. None of this is promised to anyone. The idea that “black lesbians” are taking all the space is childish. Go for a walk on Harvard’s campus and tell me that’s the reality. Literally. It’s totally dominated by white wealthy kids. I used to work with Harvard students. The minority students often feel so othered, they are tempted to drop out, simply from isolation.
Exactly. People don't relize the large scale of asian applicants (50x more?) with 4.0+ 1600 SATs
I think you have missed the multitude of world class competitive programming competition (open to all ages) that he ranked and the startup he founded. This guy is 0.000001%. I can assure you, from the heart of silicon valley and being one from THOSE schools myself, there aren't thousands like him, there aren't even HUNDREDS. Maybe you get like 1-5 a year and they will be the CS GODS of their class. On average, admission is just under-qualified to even pass judgement him - It's like some IRS agent trying to tell billionaires how to run their business. Vast majority of these admission people aren't exposed or are under exposed to real world and what is of value. If they are, they won't be in admissions, they will be doing something with vastly better pay. Instead, you get those underqualified, ivy-tower airheads who isn't really good for any real world things judging kids 10x more productive and accomplished by them simply because they have a choke hold on the process, and they get away with not being transparent.
Asians hate black and brown folks and put all the hate on them while forgetting about all the rich ỷt folks that have legacy or ỷt woman that benefit the most from affirmative action
Maybe they don't like narcissists? @@larasingg
@@NotaRobot_gifhigh achieving and narcissist are not the same concept
Don’t graduate from a community college. You would have to transfer to a state college of something. Community college is an asterisk on any honorable achievement.
College is about money and status now you all can keep blaming affirmative action but you look foolish doing it since it doesn't exist anymore.
Having paid off my student loan and saved for 20 years for each child while paying for private schools, I beg to differ. I could have had way more in my IRA. Have you ever paid for college?
@@charlesbaldo This has absolute nothing to do with what I said are you a bot or dumb?
Asians are racist towards black and brown
Since everyone basically needs secondary now, maybe the answer is just to build more universities... wow what a revolutionary thought.
Nah the problem is we have enough qualified applicants and these companies are outsourcing their training to schools and using degrees as a way to filter down applicants. We need to make sure companies justify why they need specific degrees.
Clickbait. He still got into UT Austin and University of Maryland + his dad works for Google.
Maybe you work for the post office, where your mom or dad really can get you set up for life. Google isn't like that. Not that you'll ever know...
Let me read his essays. He probably sounded like a detached emotionless robot.
Google should investigate on this hire.
The Google coding competition was open to 16 years and older, but Stanley managed to participate at 14 after he deliberately lied about his age🧐🤷♀️
Was he hired based on his success at the google competition? Does it matter that he lied about his age? Did his dad non only helped him with his IT journey, and getting a job at google without a college degree…..hhhmmm 🤨
After all, Stanley and his dad demand transparencies in college admission 😂😂😂
If, six months later, he's still employed at Google, then you can be sure he's up to the job.
Because there might be something wrong with his character.
If he was black, he'd be at Harvard..
Why would he go to Harvard as a CS major? He mainly applied to universities with excellent CS programs. He did get accepted into UT Austin, which has a top 10 CS program in the nation.
Never forget CHINA is a first world country with modern cities 3x the size of NYC. Trust and believe they don't have to be here.
What does that have to do with this?
are you trying to say US citizens should deflect to China? This kid is BORN here
Chinese American should all go back to China is what you're saying right. Brain of a half size bean, China is not even a first world country
first world Tofu Dreg too
Get back on the Titanic, baldo.
Because he’s Asian. If he were any other ethnicity including white, he’d get more offers of admission.
Wow! The race card.
This kid almost brought racism to college.
Good thing dad got him job instead 🫡
