At least three of the current MIT admissions officers are MIT alums, and presumably have as much knowledge of what it takes to survive at MIT as does any alum wanking on the internet.

I'm sorry to insult your friend since you seem to know Jones, but Marilee Jones is not exactly sensitive to people's feelings herself. ""In Daniel Golden's The Price of Admissions, MIT Dean of Admissions Marilee Jones said, "It's possible that Henry Park looked like a thousand other Korean kids with the exact same profile of grades and activities and temperament--yet another textureless math grind.""
I think it's totally inappropriate for a person in a leadership position to play up a stereotype like that.
If she feels compelled to share her negative view of Asians to the world, then I don't feel so bad about pointing out that I don't think a MIT Business school alum knows what it takes to succeed as an undergrad at MIT.
