AN…. I’m not kidding about changing my kid’s last name prior to her entering H.S….Learn from this my friend… Asian americans get screwed in the U.S. and get screwed when we go overseas too….
Thank god I didn’t go to a U.C. school. All I need to do is to donate a few million to my alta mater, and my kid gets admissions into a private school, Ivy League style…. Just kidding…sort of…[/quote]
Luckily, I don’t have to change my kids’ last name. There’s no way anyone can tell they’re Asian by their names.
I don’t think it matters where you went. It only matter how much you donated. I remember getting a question on Stanford’s application asking “Do you see you family’s name on any building” :-D. Paul Jacobs spent his entire college career at UCB. I’m sure Ivy leagues would love to get his kids/grand kids.
I wonder if having heritage at a public university mean anything. What if both of your parents went there and they do donate some to the school.
