转发:今晚我给PaloAlto家长微信群发的消息( 欢迎转发):我儿子Stanley今年从GunnHigh 毕业。他申请大学和入职Google的事情可能值 得和这个社区分享一下。我们一直深知亚裔男生 在大学申请时的艰难处境,但是难度仍然超出了 我们的想象。他从小酷爱编程,得过不少的奖 项,包括进入GoogleCodeJam半决赛。他申请 了十几所大学的CSprogram,但基本上都被拒 了(包括几平所有的UCschoolsandCAState )。所幸他做的startup引起了Amazon和 Google AJ%. Google already hired him as an L4 engineer, a position that requires multiple yearsofprofessionalexperience。他的情況作力 一个例证,已经在9/28/2023的国会听证中提交 给了众议院的教育委员会。我们也向教育部递交 了civilrightdiscriminationcomplaint。如果大家 想一起维护自己孩子的权益,或者为有条件的孩 子提供一条新的不依赖大学的路径,有没有谁想 深入讨论并且采取一些具体行动?关于Stanley 申请大学和入职Google的具体情况,可以参见 这个链接:https://docs.google.com/document/ d/e/2PACX-1vSQykM8hkz9lrdn3GM8DOxOD4
Stanley Zhong graduated from high school in June 2023. Starting in 2020, he built an e-signing startup (details below) that is featured in an Amazon Web Services case study. That led to multiple companies interviewing him for full-time jobs despite the slow IT job market. Shortly after he turned 18, Google hired him as an L4 software engineer, a position typically offered to candidates with multiple years of professional experience as well as a college degree.
In contrast, his college application results were underwhelming. He applied to the Computer Science programs. All but two colleges (listed below) rejected his application.
MIT CMU Stanford UC Berkeley UC LA UC San Diego UC Santa Barbara UC Davis California Polytechnic State University Cornell University Univ of Illinois Univ of Michigan Georgia Tech Cal Tech Univ of Wisconsin Univ of Washington
Only Univ of Texas and Univ of Maryland accepted his application.
Here are some highlights of his application.
Advanced to the Google Code Jam Coding Contest semi-final. Led his team to the 2nd place in MIT Battlecode''s global high school division (1st place in the US). Invited to MIT with expenses paid. Created an e-signing startup (RabbitSign.com) that has grown to tens of thousands of users organically. An Amazon Web Services Well-Architected Review concluded that it "is one of the most efficient and secure accounts" they have reviewed. Amazon Web Services is publishing a case study featuring RabbitSign for its exemplary use of AWS Serverless and compliance services. Designed, implemented and operated the web frontend, RESTful APIs, workflow orchestration, metrics and alerting, horizontal scaling, CDN, rate limiting, security hardening (including intrusion detection and DDoS protection), compliance monitoring, internationalization, and disaster recovery. Passed multi-week whitebox pentest with no major security issues discovered. Wrote comprehensive unit tests, continuous API Postman tests, and end-to-end Selenium tests. Negotiated a 90% discount (worth $40K+) for compliance audits. After working with the auditors over several quarters, RabbitSign is now the world''s only provider of unlimited free SOC 2-, ISO 27001- and HIPAA-compliant e-signing. Co-founded a non-profit that brings free coding lessons to kids in underserved communities. He recruited and built a volunteer team made of 20+ industry professionals, Stanford postdoc and high schoolers. Over 2 years, the team taught 500+ kids in California, Washington and Texas. National Merit Scholarship finalist SAT: 1590 GPA (UW/W): 3.97/4.42

National Merit Scholarship finalist SAT: 1590 GPA (UW/W): 3.97/4.42这么多亚裔牛娃自相残杀,真是可惜了。学点别的工程不可以吗?当然这个娃的passion确实在CS上
这么好的两个学校都录了。
我村第一,没有写过一行code,也进了uiuc cs
这娃非常聪明,一看就是natural beauty。
老中让小中搞的云山雾罩的活动,也许AO已经觉得很不genuine
要求最多的方面来讲:
对数学要求比较高,要提交AIME成绩,CS方面没太多要求
大学跟Google 需求的人不同
UC全剧确实可能有政策因素吧,这个应该说道说道。。。。
会不会有学校认为这娃不会来?
如果有不但学校排名好成绩好,又能兼顾各种EC,而且表现出才华或者leadership的
另一种是只做一方面,又不是非常得鹤立鸡群
你说AO要哪个?
对美国招生不太了解清楚
孩子被拒,责任全部归于学校不识人和招生制度,而从不在自身找一下问题在哪里
的确是牛蛙, 学渣进来崇拜一下
当然如果说学校就是市场,也有道理。高中生们要了解好学校的需求
UT是顶级CS哈,录了就是申请成功。
也挤进难进的专业,两年后转出来. LOL 相比之下华人的孩子普遍都挺努力的成绩要好很多. 有不公平的事确实要发声
估计就一笑了之了。还是瞧不上UT啊。
发现除了学校功课以外的某些天赋,才华,passion。。。
自律,时间管理能力,成熟度,leadership。。。
为人处世,还有能给学校和社区带来什么
学校成绩好排名高,对小中来说是缺省条件
不太了解,听到弱点是学校rank 20% 以外。就这一点,会不会申CS初选就被刷了?他的高SAT, UC申请上不是说没地方填吗?人家不看啊。
成绩高(不一定第一,但是要top)是必须的
那告的应该是UC 整个这个系统?
话说,大学的录取都要跟本高中比
爸爸这封信最大的疑点是没把选了什么课列出来。可能是律师教他的,他只列出来对他告状有力的信息
我不是说他不够录UC,而是,从规则上讲,人家可能没问题。CS竞争激烈门槛就更高。我们TX有过割喉高中第一但只申CS结果进不了UT的。这能算歧视吗?
但是小中如果只低头拉车不抬头看路,告也没用
相关性,G认为孩子会是个好员工,也到了法定的工作年纪,就录了你;但很多好学校不认为孩子是个好学生,所以就拒了你,这很正常呀。你不能用孩子被G录用的事实来证明孩子也必须被好大学录取,G录用员工和大学录取学生的标准肯定是不一样的。
华人家长总有个认识误区,小中特别是小中男在招生时被歧视,是不是真的被歧视,我也没有资格说,但你去T5看一下,小中男小中女还真的不少,有20-30%,你要知道亚裔在美国的人口也只占4%左右。有这样想法的人,他们的思维停留在中国的高考制度上,录取按高考成绩从头往下来,但美国不是啊 !
中国家长再这样闹下去,会让别人看轻你的。
不否认招生存在歧视,不过这件事有其他原因,不能一被拒绝就说肯定是歧视。
