Most Asians are probably miles behind their white (and when I say white, I mean persons, sometimes irrespective of actual ethnicity, affiliated with universities that are populated by predominantly white students and receive respect in the white community), so an amount of lopsidedness in the awards brought home by whites and Asians is only to be ( Read more... )

As far as difficulty level was concerned, the metabolism exam of correlative human cell bio lived up to expectations.  It was so fucking hard.  I would turn entire pages of the questionnaire with encircled items (I encircle items I can't answer so I can get back to them later on.).  But we were pleasantly surprised that 85% (that's fucking high) of ( Read more... )
