That makes sense now. People love screwing over Asians as much as possible. I've heard that before, too. That's it in my own life, too. Asians are really forced to be on their own, as entrepreneurs, etc, because if we're beholden to other people, we'll just be screwed over. People go out of their way to screw Asians over more than other types of people.

I'm really not sure if the schools you applied to (which I suppose your white consultant advised) were the best for you, or if the app you put together put you in the best light for those schools.

We can pick apart your app to death, but I'm sure you did no worse than anyone else in '23, probably the most crazy selective ever. I did poorly, too.

There are winners and there are losers in life. The winners tend to be the most hateful people who like to screw people over, lack morals/ethics, and can "read the room," as that other guy said. It penalizes Asians most of all if we're the overly hard workers who are overly moral/ethical, which most/all Asians form my high school, etc. were.

But JLin reminds me of all the moral, overly "good" Asians in my high school and in my life, and he's doing pretty well for himself, overall, DESPITE being that type of Asian, to an extreme.
