i appreciate your public service but i think you'd be more effective if you didn't type in ALLCAPS. it is harder to read and the people who would benefit from your service are less likely to read your words of wisdom.

NEVER MAN
ITS OK IF YOU WERE RAISED POOR, NO SHAME IN THAT AT ALL
YOU JUST NEED TO REALIZE WHAT THE REALISTIC OPTIONS ARE FOR YOU TO BETTER YOURSELF, AND WORK HARD ALONG THAT PATH
SURE YOU HAVE TO "GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS" - BUT LIFE ISNT FUCKING FAIR. YOUR KIDS WILL BE ABLE TO WALK THE PATH THAT YOU COULDNT RESPONSIBLY WALK, THAT SHOULD BE COMPENSATION ENOUGH

I won't be taking the SAT to attend an American university. I'm not going 30k into debt for no reason. I'll just get into American grad. I thought you were suppose to be the frugal guy.

MAJOR IN WHATEVER YOU WANT
CANADIAN SCHOOL IS FUCKING CHEAP AS HELL
IF YOURE PLANNING ON GRAD SCHOOL JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE ACTUALLY A FUCKING SMART AND CAN GET INTO A LEGITIMATE PROGRAM WITH LITTLE TO NO DEBT
IF YOURE PLANNING ON STAYING IN CANADA, ARE A POOR, AND CAN DO SOME BASIC MATH AND HAVE BUSINESS INSTINCTS, ECON OR BUSINESS WILL WORK, YOU WILL EASILY SCORE A CONSULTING JOB IF YOU DO WELL

I don't really get it - is this shtick ironic, or are you serious? If serious, you're among the most uninteresting, unrefined, striverism-promoting people on this site.

There are not that much more Hispanics than Blacks that scored above 2250. In general, he may not have a 3.9 or good ECs. That would explain why he was rejected. Maybe you're understating the amount of URMs who scored above 2250, actually.

I'm an Ivy and have been IRL for many years, here's my best advice and I hope you follow it ...
Major in math and computer science, read the Great Books whenever you get the free time (that's all the liberal arts you need minus having to write douche papers) ...
Ecno is overrated. Many faggots who major in econ won't pass the initial GPA screening, and won't qualify for grad school because they don't have the math major. (You need a bachelor's in math and 3.7+ GPA for good econ grad programs.)
You'll have the widest options: going into grad schools in math, cs, physics, engineering, social and natural sciences (even poli sci and soc are mathematized now), humanities, med/law schools, MPA, MBA,etc. etc. You can also fall back on teaching math at URM high schools or community colleges ...
Anyway, don't be too down on not making HYPSMC. Most of those faggots don't get jobs upon graduation anyway (only 30% of Harvard grads found jobs this year and probably because they have connections/family biz, etc.). If I were you, I would focus on where I want to live after college, do you like the beaches, the mountainside, do you want a college town teeming with young pussy, etc. etc.

Yes, I've seen and heard of many such cases
In fact, many math UG's move onto math grad programs, even get their masters, realize that they are not a Gauss, von Neumann, or even a TTT math professor material, and enroll in PhD in history, etc.
You may need to do some pre-req's, but maybe you can do them at CC's at low-cost. Ask your English or History professors, they might have been UG physics goons, whatever.

It's my goal to build this community back up again to its glorious past, not to do despicable shit that would tear it down. I don't like what XO's become, and I've taken it upon myself to become a champion for what it once was.
I make a measly 5.5K per class. I teach a social science. I am also a Ph.D. student, so I can't go take on multiple jobs. I'm just doing it to gain teaching experience and to supplement my stipend.

ITT: soul-dead, disenchanted lawyers pretend they "could have done whatever they wanted" coming out of college but opted for fiscal sensibility over a PhD.

Nonsense. I'm not a lawyer. I make significantly more money than anyone I know with a PhD. A PhD is pretty much a gigantic loser in anything other than psych, languages (esp. security-related), education (if it's required for an admin job), Econ, or poli sci (esp. if you have DC connections).
