emma watson actually was a straight A student for the record. and is she going to Brown for sure?

btw, you’re an embarrassment to Yalies with comments like that. you clearly didn’t get tapped for anything, and you’re bitter about it. I know two people who got tapped this year, and they’re both upstanding, hard-working leaders— and not white, might I add.

@ dragoon – A great deal of the problem these days is that the younger generation of WASPs don’t attach the same value to an Ivy education as they once did. (I.e. they are the ones eschewing the schools in the first place.) In many ways, we are a dying breed.

I see satan’s little helpers from hellywood have you all clustered in a nice grouping suitable for our heavenly father to waste your dumb evil asses. Watch me call a couple more prophetic shots like last years Gainseville hurricane, notably, the Yellowstone gurgle and then pop goes the super volcano and everything East of it goes bye bye bye, cry us a river cause the rest of the planet will be partying like satan just got annihilated. I’d like to start a betting pool with Bodog that the particulate matter falling from the heavens deposited by the jet stream on London will be around 25 millimetres. You wanna know what’s great as well is the marvelous earthquake that is going to swallow up the cocksucking pedophiles in hollywood that good old boy foley likes to lobby.
Hey did you happen to find the 2.3 Trillion the poentagon said it lost on 9/10 the day before 9/11, or maybe the multiple Trillions that American ambassador Wanta said the usa is owed from the derivatives markets and the behind the scenes super fraud he created for the american big banks to play, maybe you could have used the trillions set up in the $66 trillion of credit default swaps that clinton salted the original sub prime group by corraling all the wealthy minorities in the USA to a tune of $ 200 billion a year and forcing HUD to litigate against clinton and the government prior to the bush administrations year 2000 meltdown and the salting fraud was off to the record races.

I grew up in the oil capital of the world, the hot sun baked the banks of the Hangingstone river and in the summer as a child swimming in it I would come out covered in partially refined oil, only to find as an adult I had healing hands and all sorts of bizarre prophecy unfolding all around me. I have lots of other great finds as well and waiting for even more greater finds once you yanks are gone. Actually, having as a prophet found you gone already, I’d have to consider this one of my favorite finds, next to the dead rothchilds and thomsons that seem to like dying on great days like the 12 June, 2006,2007 and the propensity for GOD to assassinate rothschilds before your president took his seat on January 20,2009. On the day after the year 2000 my true love gave to me ( sung like the day after Christmas) 7 rothschilds, 5 rockefellers, 2 bronfmans ,1 asper, 1 astor, 1 ford, and a thomson in a coconut tree. It’s hard work tryiing to track down the owners of your federal reserve bank, especially when they die, they like to hide that shit but i’m ever so persistent, looking for a von shcroder and maybe even just some old wanna be’s like the barings. Oh it’s so glorious not being a soon to be dead banker, au revoir gophers. I’m in a rush and I couldn’t be bothered to check this rant for grammar or spelling bye.

My point is that the correlation between intelligence and WASPiness isn’t as strong as 1940’s admission rates would have you believe. And to Dragoon, If only we lived in the good ol’ days when Christians just took whatever they wanted in the name of manifest destiny.

I’m the anonymous from 11:02, and you misread what I was trying to across entirely.

I don’t make any judgments about how much parental involvement is the best, I was just pointing out that getting into college is about numbers. There are many factors that make someone a better person, as well as a better student for the school, that don’t, and can’t, come across in an application. Many parents push their children towards success in the quantifiable area because they see it as a means to an end: a good eduction and a good job, and the rest will fall into place.

Does this work in terms of getting into school and getting top jobs out of college? Usually because of our application-based systems. Does this work in the sense of creating a well-rounded and worldly person who can take care of himself and is happy? That’s a good question I don’t think anyone has an answer to.

My guess is that some societies put more emphasis on “objective” success (ie money, fame, power, etc). This can be a great idea and a terrible idea at the same time. This does unfortunately lead down the path that includes parents not caring that Columbia or Penn or Brown are better fits for their child’s personality because HYP are higher ranked and therefore the student should go to one of them (given the choice…).

Gee…if my parents whooped my ass all through high school etc etc I would have probably been f-ing summa cum laude 4.000 valedictorian of Yale. It’s a real shame they just left me to my own devices and didn’t say a word to me about my grades. College visits? I was the one mapping out the road trip, I was the one booking the hotels, I was the one scheduling the interviews. Well, my mom did wake me up after I would pass out after coming home from swim practice but it’s not like I would actually study then. Those were the days. Making the main hall of the library my hang out space with my buddies even though “no talking was allowed.” Sleeping in the front row of accelerated chemistry in plain view of the teacher, 1st period. Whose idea was it to make school start before 9 anyway? I got into Yale and I had an actual childhood too.

Knowing a bunch of you first generation Asians in college, it seems like your parents are still on your cases about grades, etc. Joe Kai, the Korean (?) in that photo there, were your parents disappointed when it wasn’t Skull and Bones? And when will it all end? When will you become your masters of your own destinies? How happy are you right now, under your parents’ thumb?
