Has The Impact Section Changed You?

You started your undergrad at 23.5?

Yes, I wasted some years after my high school doing some computer courses that amounted to nothing.

There's a large movement away from the GREs on the basis that standardized test scores discriminate against women. The argument is that since women and minorities get lower average scores on standardized tests, making them relevant will make it harder for women and minorities to break in.

I disagree with it. If a section of population is doing bad in tests, then identify the reasons behind their poor performance, not kill the test.

East Asians, South Asians, Jews, don't usually count as "minorities".

True. Highest average GRE quant score comes from some asian country(china, Taiwan or vietnam). It's 162.5 if I remember correctly.

I'm curious. how did you get funding for the undergrad?
Did you also go to grad school?

My parents paid for undergrad. I didn't go to grad school despite getting accepted in Columbia. But I plan to do so now.

Retarded innit? Asians are present in much smaller numbers in the US than blacks/hispanics.

There's some logic for the USA as blacks are the most persecuted group.

However, people should say what they mean.

May be because they are over-represented in academics?

I dig dumb women . Few years ago I fell hard for a girl at my work. She didn't even know who Nelson Mandela is. But she looked like a model.

You dig beautiful women who happen to be dumb Nothing wrong with that, but I have to ask though, does it matter to you at all what qualities a woman has besides her looks? Looks is important of course, but don't you think other qualities are important as well?

Getting rid of standardized test is not going to fix the issue that's causing them to perform poorly though. How about they focus on things like better schools?

Yeah, screw the Asian work ethic. We don't want no more Asians.

if i was a guy wanting children i would not want a dumb woman..would not have to be overly-educated but I would want someone bright with good instincts in situations.

I don't like this idea of dividing people in racial groups and making quotas for them. I think it always results in segregation. I only support a quota for domestic students(which includes every one irrespective of race) and a quota for internationals.

That won't fix it either.
Culture is what leads to good performance. That is the reason poor Asian immigrant kids tend to do so well.

A smart woman will probably make a better mother and pass on better genes too.
