Stanley Park,韩裔,父母为韩国移民,本人生长于加州,SAT 1500,University High in Irvines,class 2002。1999年父母离异,母亲含辛茹苦供他上最好的高中University High in Irvines。母患乳癌后,他打工贴补家用。连续三年,他每周日做义工。School guidance counselor 给他写了极强的推荐信,他自己的essay讲的是他母亲如何含辛茹苦供他上学,为了不辜负母亲,他如何刻苦读书、工作等等。
结果,Berkeley,UCLA都拒绝了他,却录取了比他分数低很多的非西裔。"Stanley learned the hard way that the 'life challenges'preference at his state university was a back-door substitute for affirmative action. It was never meant for him or other Asian Americans at all."
