Hello everybody.

I am asking a theoretical question that I have in mind.

Let’s say you got 2300+ in SAT and 35 on ACT, loads of AP '5’s, with 770+ in 3 individual SAT subject tests (e.g. Chemistry, Mathematics II and Physics) and you have 4.0 in unweighted GPA, while you take the most rigorous course load in high school. You even interned in your local colleges in summer vacations, and joined a science club.

However, other than all these, you did all these because you spend all your day studying in the library. Worse of all, he’s just another nerdy Asian…

What are the choices for this poor fellow?
