<p>By looking at your post, I guess you are Asian Male from CA, that is like minus 300 points from your total score:D. Don’t get me wrong, I am also Asian and my son has way much better stat than you except the ECs and got waitlisted. This is just life except it is hard for parent to explain why Asian is not doing well in applying those elite schools :D. I wish my son will listen to me and just take the full scholarship from those schools that ask him to apply!! :D</p>
<p>It is really not that big of deal if you believe in you. My son does not even check the status and when I told him the waitlist decision, his first reaction is “whatever” and went back to write his first novel :D</p>
