Believe me, I understand what you were going at.
Still, if you're speaking of UCSF, its admissions are still very similar to some of the other UC's. I'm sure if you were an athlete during your undergrad career, you still have leverage over someone who didnt. That was the point I was getting at... I just happened to point out that first generation immigrants (even 2nd and 3rd sometimes) have much different cultural focuses. My taiwanese friend for example pointed this out while I was responding in that post.. for he only does two things.. school, and work. He doesnt have any sports backround, and hes not musically inclined at all.. but hey, he got into pretty much every UC still, so of course there are SOME exceptions to the norm. Sure, I'm making a generalization, but the subject was a generalization in the first place.. so thats what I based it on. and of course I dont assume that all asians or any other culture has the same cultural values... I'm not a retard lol.
You also must understand that you cant take that entire post I made to its literal extent. Of course things arent true for ALL circumstances... for everyone is different.
I based a lot of what I said on what I was told by a counseler.. if you want to be contrary, I cant stop you.
Whatever dude.. I'm done with the subject now, but if it really means so much satisfaction for you to call me on it, go for it... just know you're not going to gain any points in life by doing it lol.
