That right there, is probably the most ill-informed and factually incorrect statement I've read on this forum in a very long time. And that is saying a lot about the level of stupidity this reflects on your behalf. You can achieve a UAI of 100.00 in any school.Devouree said:Reading through this topic, I really have to say LMAO, LOL and every1 knows what else fits here...
First of all, when you say one of the top schools I'd take it to mean top 10 ~ 20 schools. Sorry, but that's the truth. If you want to get over 90 UAI (and face facts, that's what most of us are aiming at, even if it is unrealistic ) then 30th school just isn't good enough. And anyway, partially selective schools, pfft....
Devouree said:Next, something I read in a newspaper. Sure, asians might spend their senior high school years without seeing much sunlight , but so what? After they get their 99+ UAI, their life is basically mapped out (rhetorically speaking). Their set for life, and no more money issues! (this sounds pretty shallow, but come on, you know it's true.)....
No, it's not shallow. It's provincial minded and again incorrect. Your UAI will mean nothing 3 months after you get it, and certainly won't mean anything once you get to uni. There is no direct correlation between a high UAI and comfortable salary either, and in case you haven't noticed, its the trademen who are rolling in money, not the law students.
You basically just confirmed all Asian sterotypes right there, and if what you are saying is true, then that's just sad. I'm truly sorry that your parents are so consumed by the need for your academic success, to the detriment of everything else.Devouree said:Finally, what this topic is actually about. Yeah, it's true. Seriously, if you get below 95 UAI then for asian parents it's actually better if you just went somewhere else and died. My parents wouldn't throw me out, but the disappointment both from them and from yourself would be VERY painful indeed. Asian parents literally cannot imagine their child NOT going to uni, it just doesn't work in their minds. So no, they won't throw me out.... but I kinda wish they would if i failed that badly.
