I've worked with a few EEs who graduated from GA Tech, and they've all been exceptionally well educated. They all have really strong fundamentals, and it seems like they've all focused on one very specific, very useful skillset. FPGAs, power electronics, and instrumentation to be more specific. I have a lot of respect for that program.

Plus, none of them had any student debt because they all went to Georgia high schools.

Affirmative action will be going back to the Supreme Court for re-evaluation soon after a white girl sued some university after it rejected her on ostensibly racial grounds.

It's very clear you haven't spent any time at MIT. Half the students don't care about MIT culture and are just there for a degree. The other half aren't faking their autism, and they've been this way for decades. From what I've seen, the underqualified minorities mostly fall in the first group; they just get worse grades and need more help from everyone else.

No one acts like fake nerds except the admissions office and the applicants who comment on all their blog posts trying to imitate them.

Do you really want to know?

Ask yourself honestly: if you weren't a non Asian minority, would you still have gotten in?

The answer is no. If you somehow think yes, you're suffering from MIT affirmative action admit special snowflake syndrome.

You probably think your stats are impressive. But here's the raw truth senpai: your stats are a dime a dozen. Really. You really didn't do anything in particular to deserve being there.

Even if, hypothetically, you directly ask the admissions office or anyone around you whether you were just admitted due to affirmative action or not to disprove my claim, they'll just say no no, you have imposter syndrome, you are special, etc.

Everyone you see each day has probably constructed a bubble around you. It's the same exact bubble that carried you in. You're more useful to them if you believe you got there by your own merit after all...

So realize this: you should be more grateful than you are arrogant.

>>8114538
Ok, I will admit that my stats are pretty much the same as anyone else who was seriously considered for admission, but there was little possibility of me doing any better than I did.

I fully recognize what you're trying to say and how you're trying to be as inoffensive as possible, but I could potentially be anyone with that information. You don't think that a single non-Asian minority belongs at the school despite their merits? Even if they're not that special, do they not meet the qualifications of the school considering that most of the people admitted have lower stats? Even if so, these populations make up a significantly lower population of the school than they do of the applicant pool and the United States

I'm not trying to be arrogant. I do still feel grateful because I don't feel so entitled to admission. I know I've gotten a good amount of help, but I still feel that it's unfair to pass that judgement and isolate on people who are minorities despite their merits

>>8115014
>You don't think that a single non-Asian minority belongs at the school despite their merits?

What merits?

Non-Asian minority admits have a lot of "merit" until you put them next to, say, an Asian admit. You know, the USAMO qualifier, IMO medalist types.

The thing about affirmative action is that its a system that it redefines "merit" by making it purely relative to your race. But of course this isn't how merit really works in the real world.

Its why non-Asian minority students in MIT get slammed into the ground by the rest of campus - academically and otherwise. Because at the end of the day, no amount of prestige will be able to compensate for a person's lack of ability to compete with people who are judged and filtered through a much harsher standard.

>do they not meet the qualifications of the school considering that most of the people admitted have lower stats

You are not being compared with the average of the whole applicant pool, as would be done in a meritocratic system. Because of affirmative action, you are compared to members of your race.

35 ACT is far more than enough to be impressive... for a black guy. On the other hand 36 gets a mere glance for an Asian guy.

Congrats man, you are more than "qualified". I put that in quotes, because "qualifications" have really become a joke these days.

What's wrong with MS&T?

I'm enrolled with them for next year

>>8114075
I have a few thoughts.

Economics professor and social theorist Thomas Sowell of Stanford University has researched this issue with data-intensive analyses.

The primary conclusion is that the real reason to oppose affirmative action is that it in fact hurts minorities. Affirmative action leads to minorities being admitted to schools to which they are underqualified, which results in a higher incidence of dropping out from university. Obviously, having a larger share of minorities complete a college education is the better option.

There is also the psychological side. I imagine it does not feel good to question if you're where you are in life not due to your own merits, but due to racial preferentiality. And what must it do to the collective minority self-image if they are part of a group that "needs to be given a racial preference" to be "equal"?

The work of Thomas Sowell was a primary influence on Ward Connerly, the (also black) regent of the University of California who spearheaded the repeal of race-based preferences in both the UC system and state hiring. And indeed, since its repeal 20 years ago, the graduation rate of under-represented minorities has skyrocketed in California.

tl;dr while the intent of affirmative action is to help minorities, hard data indicates that it does the opposite.

PS: I imagine that, as an african-american, it must be rather disheartening to always hear this stuff on 4chan about blacks having lower IQ. The following is relevant: "In Intellectuals and Race, Sowell argues that IQ gaps are hardly startling or unusual between, or within, ethnic groups. He notes that the roughly 15-point gap in contemporary black–white IQ scores is similar to that between the national average and the scores of certain ethnic white groups in years past, in periods when the nation was absorbing new immigrants."

What do you guys think of Missouri Science and Technology?

>>8115394
Very insightful. I agree. I was addressing the sentiment that implies that minorities are always substantially underqualified for the schools that they attend, which is not always the case.

Also, regarding the IQ stuff, I believe that socioeconomic status has more of an effect on IQ than most people think. Groups that are generally poorer have been shown to have lower IQs, like, for example, the penniless white immigrants of the past.

You're mixing the cause and effect. Being poor doesn't make you stupid as much as being stupid makes you poor.

It's why countries like Singapore went from abandoned third world shithole to first world in a matter of decades. And why Africa is and will always be a shithole.

>>8115613
There was the very clear example of "the roughly 15-point gap in contemporary black–white IQ scores [being] similar to that between the national average and the scores of certain ethnic white groups in years past, in periods when the nation was absorbing new immigrants."

Blacks are by large not culturally integrated, predominantly, it seems to me, due to black culture itself. Another aspect of this is the terrible quality of the public schools that most blacks attend compared to the average education-quality for whites, no doubt due itself to a cultural feedback loop.

I bet that if we live long enough to see cultural integration, we will also see the IQ gap narrow substantially.

As for your Singapore vs Africa example, you neglect the crucial cultural component that I emphasize, and which hard data shows affects IQ.

I do not propound a different IQ discrepancy or non-discrepancy, but rather that this confounding variable is so huge as to render the effective causal aspect of the established correlation moot.

(>>8115651)
>>8115613
Furthermore, your Singapore example invalidates your own point. The average IQ in Singapore is 108, despite it being not racially or ethnically distinct in any way. The reason can only be the confounding factor of culture and its feedback loop with, among other things, the quality of and emphasis upon education.

>>8115651
>There was the very clear example of "the roughly 15-point gap in contemporary black–white IQ scores [being] similar to that between the national average and the scores of certain ethnic white groups in years past, in periods when the nation was absorbing new immigrants."

Blacks aren't new to this country yet the gap still persists. Cultural integration? In anyone's lifetime? Don't push your luck...

>you neglect the crucial cultural component that I emphasize, and which hard data shows affects IQ.

Black culture is universally a culture of ignorance, which suits their lower average IQ. It's really a race thing.

>confounding variable is so huge as to render the effective causal aspect of the established correlation moot.

Its only confounding to those who try to fudge data to fit their SJW agenda. In other words, 99% of social scientists where you get your data from.

>The average IQ in Singapore is 108

Because its racially and ethnically distinct from black people.

Not that anon but just because the gap still exists does not mean no progress has been made. As a matter of fact if it were true that blacks had not been making progress the gap would be much bigger.

Unless now you are posing the possibility that Whites themselves have made no progress and attributes connected to events such as the flynn effect is wrong.

> Black culture is universally a culture of ignorance, which suits their lower average IQ. It's really a race thing.

Black culture is in effect a reactionary movement influence squarely by the absence of consistent African culture and the ever changing nature of American culture. To call it a "culture of ignorance" is ignorance itself since it neglects the logistical nature of how cultures function in long spans of time.

So either whites can't communicate or blacks can't listen. The latter is more likely.

>>8117181
Yet natives of other lands can easily adopt foreign technology. Even contribute to it in some cases.

We can come up with buzzwords describing all sorts of different phenomena explaining why Africa isn't developed all day. Social structures, communications channels, cultural integration, discrimination... the list goes on.

But none of that will ever change the fact that blacks simply universally achieve less. That the reason for black inadequacy (unless we're talking the NBA) is much, much simpler than you suggest.

So please continue to rationalize black inadequacy by formulating more and more convoluted excuses that will eventually end up going back to enable said inadequacy. You might just earn the title of "Uncle Tom" from your people if you haven't already with that kind of language.

The Asian guy understands perfectly whats going on. He's not ignoring the black guy's story of how they only had independence for 50 or so years and didn't have time to develop. He just doesn't accept it as an excuse, because his country has been there as well.

It's really not. I mean my classes are good and so are the peers in my program, but you step outside into the real world and realize there are tons of retards graduating each year from the satellite campuses. In fact, the only way they sell UTSC and UTM is by literally telling students during campus visits that they can just say UofT on their resume and no one will know they fucked up in high school.

>>8117219

>my classes are good and so are the peers in my program

>>8117181

> So either whites can't communicate or blacks can't listen. The latter is more likely.

Or there's the third option, the European nations during colonization weren't actively planning to divulge their knowledge on such technology in detail and only came to Africa for land, resources and labor just like America and South America in an attempt to develop their economic structure more.

>>8117191

> Yet natives of other lands can easily adopt foreign technology. Even contribute to it in some cases.

Not all natives anon and those that did were those that seek it out or actually took part in trading deals that didn't violate the integrity of their governments.

Japan before being under control of America or allied with Germany imported math and science books from Europe. Already familiar with such knowledge it made them an effective ally for Germany during WW2 and took to adopting technology America quickly since American "technology" is by proxy European "technology" too.

Then there's China where American and European businesses and governments had no interest in taking over the government but only wanted extra labor to produce products and left the culture and government intact. Conversely these actions also led China to becoming a up and coming super power that westerners are now worried about economically and militarily.

> He just doesn't accept it as an excuse, because his country has been there as well.

Wait you mean China was at one time occupied by foreign powers who ended up fighting with each other for land and resource possession to supplement their growing economic structure?

AE Aero reporting. Finished first year. The engineering program is pretty sweet but some of the classes will really break a broom handle off your ass if you want to get an A (this shouldn't be that surprising though).

I attend the Prescott university so the student pool is relatively small, but it's been growing immensely lately.

I've been a NEET for 3 years and recently applied to a large amount of universities after deciding to change my life around. I was only accepted to extremely average schools like Kansas State University, South Dakota State University, Washington State University, Montana Tech etc...

How fucked am I? Do rankings matter for STEM? I don't see how they could if they all have the same accreditation. I really don't want to go to community college. I tried it and everything about it was lame and stupidly easy. It felt like a huge waste of time.

Should I just pick the best out of the group and go for it? My grandma is paying for everything.

>>8117657
>the European nations during colonization weren't actively planning to divulge their knowledge on such technology in detail.

You could say that for every colonized nation. But so many have come farther than African countries since.

And that just begs the question: if you really need another civilization to give you technology, who gave whites technology in the first place?

And more importantly, why can't blacks simply make their own technology to rival whites? We're all the same under our skin, so they should be able to do it as well. Even the Chinese could figure out a compass at least.

>Japan before being under control of America or allied with Germany imported math and science books from Europe

They can do this because they have a written culture as well i.e. can read. What about blacks?

The media and academia are all part of the same political correctness bubble. They'll do anything to come up with excuses and lengthy explanations and scapegoats that sound nice but in the end help nobody.

Not even blacks, since it just gives them the idea that everyone else except them got them into their situation. They've just gone from being slaves of whites to slaves of their own victim mentality.

"My situation has nothing to do with what I chose to do or how I behave, but is entirely dependent on what white people have done and continue to do."

>>8119086
I doubt they'd care since you're so far removed from your proclaimed heritage.

If half your family is native American then its probably substantial, but having a distant great-grandmother who just happens to be native American probably won't cut it since they'll just assume your already culturally and racially white by now.

Caltech with a 3.6 GPA? That's pretty odd.

On a somewhat related note, I've always wondered if prestigious grad schools go out of their way to recruit students from mid-tier or state schools just because they need that token comes-from-a-lesser-school guy.

>>8119649
Yeah, because it's impossible for anyone that goes to undergrad at non-prestigious schools to be smart. It's academic affirmative action.

>>8119649
This. If he's telling the truth he must have been extraordinary in some other way, like doing substantial self-directed graduate-level research in his major discipline, which ultimately caused the poor GPA due to neglect in other areas.

I know a guy who got into the MIT doctoral operations research program with a 3.3 GPA due to precisely this. He spent his undergrad pioneering remarkable new research in the area.

The nice thing about nerd schools with their own quirky culture, is I find pure math culture pretty homogeneous across the board. Whether it's math55 at harvard, top math guys at Princeton or mit, it's pretty much just a bunch of guys who like math hanging out, talking math, and working hard. If you actually like math/science thats a way better than retarded quirky bazinga tier "nerds."

I'm not saying its impossible for someone who goes to a mid-tier school to be smart.

What I meant was, if, for example, there are two equally qualified prospective grad students, with one being from a lesser school and the other being from a peer school, that the former will be chosen just because of some strange "diversity" reason.

I don't know about this but I hear the term "academic inbreeding" being tossed around for this reason. Not sure what it really means though, or how much people really care about it.

IME (Militar Institute of Technology) and ITA (Aeronautics Institute of Technology) are the best engineering institutes of Latin America and one of the best of the Southern Hemisphere. The first brazilian astronaut, a lot of big company CEO and most top-notch engineering-scientists of Brazil formed in these two universities. Besides them, there're Federal Universities (USP [São Paulo] - best general university of Latin America, UFMG [Minas Gerais], UFRJ [Rio de Janeiro], UnB [Brasilia], etc). The best universities of Brazil are Federal/Militar and have no cost for the student (the state pays everything [I personally,don't like this socialist bullshit]).

I study Aerospace Engineering at UFSC, the federal university of Santa Catarina state. I like it, there're a lot of good teachers (a lot of foreign, like chinese, indian, russian, italian, venezuelan and so). Our only problem is the lack of infrastructure, like laboratories, test systems, expensive shit.

The common complaint is it is in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do.

It is also very hard, they use to drop over half the students in intro class to get rid of the wannabe engineers, which is why the few who pass were literally the best of the best. But funding and meddling have dramatically lowered the drop-out rate recently as well as been addressing a huge lack of diversity (there are now 23% female students, which is a huge increase since I was there), but I fear this departure from tradition will lower the quality of grads in the years to come.

I say take all the math and science courses you can before going there so you don't have to take the remedial courses, have at least have Calc 3 going in. Also add a year to however long your plan to be there as only a statistical oddity or true genius can take the planned course load. Get an easy minor out of that extra time to round out your resume, also find hands on experience with deign team, internship or something. Have planned down time to combat burnout, but you got to stay diligent as this one of the best engineer schools in the world when I was there a few years ago. You got to earn your degree, and a fine degree it is.

Its alleged difficulty is propounded by dumb normies who take it because they see it as a sure way to get a job. They don't know any better. They don't know (and neither does a lot of 4chn) that many graduate jobs take people from any degree, including tbe highest paid jobs in banking and mangemebt consulting. But then those places don't advertise in their universities anyway. Then they take Calc 2 and Thermodynamics start saying that engineering is the hardest major...lol.

Engineering school....LOL. If you were at Cambridge or Harvard (doing engineering science) etc then you'd have a much tougher and more rigorous curriculum rather than corporate cuck training.

You underestimate the intelligence of students at top schools. Most if not all of them are from privledged and wealthy backgrounds with impressive academic pedigree. I saw first hand in my class how students that scored 2300/2400 on the SAT bombed basic STEM classes and some of these students you'd never suspect scores so highly on the SAT due to their ability in these classes and their general retarded mannerism. Those 18 year older are just as young and naive we 18 year olds anywhere else and some of them aren't any more intelligent than some kid not at a prestigious university. It's just their moms and dads are doctors with education from elite universities or they are the sons and daughters of political leaders. This is one of those schools that cost over $250,000 to obtain a degree.

Any jerk-off with an engineering degree and a job can tell you the REAL learning is after you graduate and find a job.

Universities empty your brain and fill it with math and science.

Companies then remove blind math and science, restructure it and then teach you think on about five different levels. The coursework is not strenuous but the job will be.

Compare that to your "non-normie" professor or researcher who bangs out the same shit every day in class or in the lab.

I meant the 4k/month = 48k/year income would be more than enough to pay for your university yourself. Obviously this shouldn't be your career goal, but a hobby.

Dude my dad passed when I was 10, and that's how I payed for my own education. I was making over 80k when I was 17.

Dude fuckoff. The average 17 year old does not have any opportunity to make 80k unless he drops out of high school to sell drugs. You obviously got handed some extraordinary opportunities on a silver platter, oh but daddy died so it doesn't count.

Maybe that was like 5 years ago and you got obscenely lucky and stumbled upon a gold mine but acting as if it's as simple as 'oh just make a mobile game and you'll earn 50k a year' is insanely obtuse.

Is this real?

Quick question for canadians:
Why do your universities have such high acceptance rates? UofT has a 60~ percent acceptance rate. That would be like going to Cal State East Bay, which is a SHIT cal state that I didn't even know existed until this year.

>>8136128
They get them sweet tuition monies and only 1/5th actually graduate b/c of the rigorous curriculum.

And a more realistic rate is 30% for Core8 engineering, 10%ish for Engineering Science, and <20% for business (Rotman Commerce)

60% seems about right for Art Sci programs.

I keep debating going here just because it does seem like a good school if you're positive on engineering or physics. The fact that it's in some town of 70K people in the middle of South Dakota though makes it sound like you'd die of boredom, though.

>>8136128
Depends on the program. For example, UWaterloo has an acceptance rate of 52%, but I assume that's because of deferrals to other programs.

CS co-op at UWaterloo has an acceptance rate of around 10-13% IIRC.

UofT CS has this thing where you have to declare it in second year or at the end of first year or something, so you can't say "I'm in CS" until that happens.

A lot of weeding out happens in these universities.

Bottom line: Canadian universities are easy to get into, as long as your Grade 12 average is high, but hard to get out of due to "weed-out" courses. Keep in mind they are also public universities, unlike prestigious American universities which are all private (with the exception of Berkeley, I guess)

>>8137747
U of T and McGill are better than many 'prestigious' private universities, including Ivy Leagues.
There are also prestigious public universities in the USA.
Being publicly funded here isn't a bad thing because all universities here are publicly funded.

Montana Tech is a good engineering school that's worth the money.

>>8136070
Stevens student reporting in, our EE department is shit tier, at least in terms of research (half the faculty does nothing but signals and wireless communications, and the other half builds stupid fucking apps) and I've heard bad things about the CS department. Apparently our ROI is so high and our reputation is good because we produce a lot of people who get into upper management, not necessarily great engineers. If anything is good at this school, it's probably MechE, but I don't know anything about that.

>>8138215
I feel like after 2 years of going to Stevens Ive learned the school is very "DIY" like i feel like ive taught myself in most of my classes cause I can only speak for the CPE professors, havent had any straight up EE ones yet, but they always seem to be not great instructors

All undergrad degrees are a joke anyway.

>>8136128
Is it really? The average needed to enter in U of T's engineering program keep increasing every year. I think it's at something ridiculous like 98%. Give it a few more years and it's going to get at 100%. Honestly, I find this pretty retarded because there is no standardization AT ALL among high schools, so if you're not going to one with insane grade inflation, you're basically doomed from the start. The SAT in the US at least put everyone on the same level.

I'm not bitter at all to be honest, because I never applied there for undergrad, but got in for grad school, where I've learned about this.

>>8138019
McGill is kind of iffy for engineering though. Really hit or miss. I think it's pretty much universally recognized as their weakest point.

>>8139421
>I think it's at something ridiculous like 98%
No.

~96 for Engineering Science (Math 55-tier courses)
~95 for TrackOne (General First Year)
~94 for Mech
~93 for ECE
~91 for other disciplines

These marks with "average" extracurriculars will get you in.

The only programs in Canada that requires literally 98%+ average are McMaster Health Science and Waterloo Software Engineering.

Also there is no grade inflation going on. It's just all these Chinese/Korean international students who learn Calculus in grade 6 that actually do get 100% in Advanced Functions/Calculus&Vectors/Physics.

>>8139424
Stop.
All undergraduate programs in Canada are roughly equivalent. They are standardized. Taking engineering at McGill, which competes for the top ranked spot in Canada, is not 'hit or miss'. It's great.
No matter where you are, you learn the exact same shit.
You aren't an engineer here until you do you PENG anyway.

University of Pittsburgh civil here to say we exist. We line up to be exactly like the university of maryland.

>>8140863
Some companies like Microsoft and Facebook hire almost exclusively from UofT/Wloo.

While you are correct about all undergraduate programs learning roughly the same material, there is still some prestige/name value that comes w/ your school. Ofc what I said only applies to ECE.

>>8140876
>almost exclusively
First and foremost, GPA matters. Yes, seeing U of T and Waterloo on resumes are nice. But GPA, experience, etc matter more than the name of your school.
There definitely is perceived prestige, but in undergraduate studies, it is all nearly the same. The only thing going to McGill will do for you as an undergrad is impress someone for five seconds before they forget about it. It's nice to brag about. But the material is the same. You won't benefit from the faculty as an undergrad because you'll probably be taught by ta's... not that it matters, because calc 1 at ryerson is the same as calc 1 at york is the same as calc 1 at mcgill.
The differences, though, do exist as far as course offerings - Waterloo offers FAR more math courses for example than McMaster, especially in the actuarial area. Waterloo doesn't have a med school though.

I want Canadians to leave.

Oh, my god this such a bullshit question. Yes, stats like this do not guarantee admission and many people with stats like that get rejected. But also, there are plenty of Asians with stats like that which got in. His stats are impressive and they very much qualify him for admittance to MIT. Not everyone who gets rejected is underqualified, man.

Fisher v Texas it seems.

https://www.propublica.org/article/a-colorblind-constitution-what-abigail-fishers-affirmative-action-case-is-r

Basically some girl wanted to go to UT Austin to continue the legacy because many of her family members went there but got denied. Her case is that 5 minorities with worse grades got provisional admission, but 42 whites with worse grades also got provisional admission. It should be noted that she got some form of provisional admission as well; she would be guaranteed a transfer to UT Austin after maintaining a 3.2 at any other Texas Uni after Freshmen year. Sounds like a legacy who is mad they didn't get in than someone with an actual case

>>8148758
I find this ironic since even white women benefit a lot from affirmative action as well. Even if she brought it down she probably still wouldn't get in because she nullified her own advantage from her gender.
