All you are doing is taking away opportunities from children who did nothing but be born a skin color you deem makes them not worthy of college admission.
That seems to be a perfectly apt description of what you are proposing.
He's suing over being discriminated against based on being a non-favored race.
He’s claiming he was rejected not because he wasn’t good enough but because they let in too many people of other minority groups, no?
What could he have done better, besides being a different demographic?
He is suing because he obviously was discriminated against based on his race - a protected class. If you don't think that's blindingly obvious - imagine a black or Hispanic female who achieved all that. Do you think she'd be rejected anywhere?

Stanley's dad is suing for the emotional distress of Stanley not getting into Cornell. That's all I need to know about the family to know that every school that rejected him made the right choice. What a pair of losers.

A better SAT? Are you serious? I don't even need to address the rest of your idiotic post.
He sounds he's an overly one-dimensional applicant that got rejected by top schools. Schools want well-rounded... did he ALSO write for the school newspaper, play an instrument in the school orchestra, and play a varsity sport? Or did he just do well on the SATs and write some code with his dad's help?
1) dad did the paperwork for the e-signature company
2) dad worked at google and he magically gets a job at google
3) he gets promoted at google after he's been turned down for college
4) he doesn't look like he ever went to college
5) he took no AP or honors frosh fall, and few of them until junior year
6) he makes a B+ in an elective class as a soph hence no 4.0 U/W, tripping up his cute game
7) they oddly don't know his class rank
8) they oddly give out his junior year GPA and grades and not his senior ones
9) his school does offer at least AP language classes
10) he doesn't say when he applied, whether any were early decision or normal senior spring admissions
11) he doesn't say if his senior grades changed
12) he doesn't say if he applied to multiple early decision programs where the rules maybe told him you have to do only one, and where they might turn you down for that alone
What was his letter of recommendations like? What was his essay about?
This times 100. Colleges are pretty savvy about their candidates and they try to weed out those who will be problems. I’d bet that the essay or recommendations raised red flags. Also, cheating on the SAT, while uncommon in the USA, does occur in some places.

How could you possibly know this?
Because I read the complaint that he and his daddy filed against Cornell. It lays out every accolade he's ever received and every computer programming competition he's ever competed in, but makes no mention of anything that an admissions counselor would consider well-rounded.
It’s “banned” but they use other proxies for it. As a trend, schools with LOWER average AP scores have higher acceptance rates into UCLA.
Why? The reason is obvious.
As an example - Lowell (1350 average SAT) vs Mission High (1020). And before I hear woke whining about how they’re test optional (which also was done in order to discriminate, mainly against Asians but also whites), it’s pretty obvious that students with 1350-1370 SAT averages are better than those with 1020.
Yet Mission has a 43% acceptance rate to Berkeley while Lowell has a 14% one? Lunacy
According to the complaint, despite Stanley's academic credentials — a 3.97 unweighted GPA, a 1590 SAT score and significant achievements in computer science, including advancing to the Google Code Jam semifinals and winning second place in MIT Battlecode's global high school division — he was denied admission to Cornell and 15 other schools. The lawsuit highlights that shortly after these rejections, Stanley received a full-time job offer from Google for a position typically requiring a Ph.D. or equivalent experience. This offer was extended after a rigorous evaluation process, including assessments of his technical skills and teamwork abilities. In addition to his academic achievements, Stanley founded RabbitSign, an unlimited free e-signing service developed during the COVID-19 pandemic which he wrote about in his college essays. The platform was recognized by Amazon Web Services for its efficiency and security, leading to a feature in an upcoming case study by Amazon.
The lawsuit is supported by Students Who Oppose Racial Discrimination, an organization founded in October 2024 by the Zhongs to help themselves and any willing families to challenge what it alleges are racially discriminatory admissions policies in higher education. According to the SWORD website, numerous college admission counselors examined Stanley Zhong’s applications and essays after media outlets like CBS and USA Today began to cover his story. However, none of them were able to discern the cause for rejection, with some even offering to testify as expert witnesses.
Does anyone believe that the sole reason he was rejected wasn't his race (as well as gender)? It's blindingly obvious. If he was a black female he'd have been accepted everywhere he applied.
Lets be very clear. If he was a white man he would have also been admitted everywhere. Asian people face far more descrimination in college admissions than any group. White men often get affirmative action, yet we don't seem to be talking about this.
Double checked my calendar, yes it is that time of year where parents complain because their precious son or daughter did not get into their "Dream School." In this case, the credentials shared reveal a 1590 SAT score, 3.95 unweighted GPA, and numerous accolades of his Google heroics. But, what! Cornell turned him down on "Ivy Day" (March 28th.) Cornell accepted 5,824 students from 50 states and 115 countries. The admission rate has not been published yet for the class of 2029 (Class of 2028 was 8.41%) Lastly, from the Information shared about this student there is one question unanswered. Did he apply as a computer science major. Numerous advisors recommend that students interested in computer science not declare a major when applying. For example, while UC Berkeley's overall acceptance rate is 11.7%, those that declare computer science as their major face an acceptance rate of 2.8%.
top schools are already like 20-25% asian. those kids are getting in somehow. maybe the teachers who wrote his recs said he's a d*ck. or he came off as a d*ck in his essays.
Lets be very clear. If he was a white man he would have also been admitted everywhere. Asian people face far more descrimination in college admissions than any group. White men often get affirmative action, yet we don't seem to be talking about this.
yes, by far the biggest by number beneficiaries of affirmative action at elite schools are whites because the schools don't want to be 90% asian which they would be if it was just SAT/GPA
