Each perspective has it’s pros and cons. Priorities will determine the choice between the two.

He’s no Sheldon L. Cooper.

True…. But you have to admit that is not a common name for a kid of Chinese descent. Nor even for an Anglo.

There was an excerpt here on FR earlier this week about how woke-ism is penetrating med schools now (by Heather MacDonald I believe). Frightening as it is driving good students away.

Clovis will graduate with associate of arts degrees in history, social sciences, social behavior and self-development, arts and human expression, and science and mathematics.

I'm sure the kid is smart, and the science and mathematics degrees are impressive, but the other degrees are worthless and these are all Associate degrees (equivalent to a community college). I hope this kid doesn't peak in his teens like others who have similarly pursued arts degrees at a young age due to pushy parents.

Driving them away? They can’t even get in. If you are caucasian with a great gpa and great mcat scores who followed a traditional (think 4 year bachelors degree) applying straight out of college it is almost impossible to get into med school

[Rummyfan]

I know. My daughter was not accepted after applying to thirty schools.

When we hear of someone with two PhDs we know that that idiot was too stupid to learn after the first one.

That's so funny. I don't remember reading about anyone with two PhDs. Who would fund that?

[Jonty30]

I don’t know how useful those AA degrees will be towards university. I’m glad he has them, but I don’t how transferable the credits are.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Maybe he was born in New Mexico?

His parents had an interest in french history?

[ladyjane]

Part of what makes childhood precious and joyous would be having fun and trying things out at your leisure.

Really? Nobody ever told me or my parents that.

[Organic Panic]

I suspect there is more to the story. Every time I hear of these it is always a “minority” student who is never heard from again for doing, what is impossible with time constraints.

I lived on Amerige. Not far from FJC...I took a VW repair class there...once.

I know he is a very unique child because he’s very curious and intelligent.”

Mama/tutor, teach your boy there aren’t varying degrees of uniqueness.
