我申請的頂級學校是麻省理工學院、加州理工學院、普林斯頓大學、哈佛大學、卡內基梅隆大學和加州大學伯克利分校，”他說。
王被他們所有人拒絕了。
但拒絕信並非沒有警告。 王告訴 Fox Nation，他在申請過程中與朋友和學校輔導員交談，他們都發出了奇怪的警告。
“他們都告訴我，要進去更難，尤其是作為一個亞裔美國人。我隻是把它當作流言。”
正如 Fox Nation 特別節目中探討的那樣，這本書說，作為亞裔美國人申請大學在許多精英學校可能是一個“明顯的劣勢”。 它還指示申請人不要在申請中包含自己的照片，如果可能的話，不要提供有關種族背景的可選答案，並避免撰寫關於認同兩種文化的重要性的錄取論文。
“我給了他們我的考試成績，然後他們一定在上麵運行了模型……[他們]告訴我，我有 20% 的機會作為亞裔美國人被哈佛大學錄取，但如果作為非裔美國人，有 95% 的機會， “ 他說。
"The top-tier schools I applied to were MIT, CalTech, Princeton, Harvard, Carnegie-Mellon and U.C. Berkeley," he said.
Wang was rejected by all of them.
But the rejection letters didn't come without warning. Wang told Fox Nation he talked to friends and school guidance counselors going into the application process, and they all issued a bizarre warning.
"They all told me that it's tougher to get in, especially as an Asian American. I just took it as gospel."
Wang, the child of two first-generation Chinese immigrants, is one of the people behind the Plaintiff group taking on Harvard University and the University of North Carolina – two institutions whose race-based admissions practices have emerged at the epicenter of affirmative action practices for public and private institutions.
He shared his story in the Fox Nation special "The Diversity Verdict," which is available for streaming, Thursday.
Last fall, the high court heard two cases dealing with the issue, deciding to keep them separate since Harvard is a private institution and UNC is public, creating distinct legal concerns.
At stake in the Harvard case is whether the university violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against Asian-American applicants. The UNC case, in contrast, looks at UNC's unwillingness to adopt a "race-neutral alternative."
Either of the two cases could overturn 2003 precedent case, Grutter v. Bollinger, wherein the court ultimately ruled that the use of race as an admissions factor was not unconstitutional as long as it was narrowly tailored to further the compelling interests of obtaining the educational benefits available in a diverse student body.
But, is getting accepted to college more difficult for Asian American applicants? Ingraham said The Princeton Review, a company that provides college prep and test-taking advice for high schoolers hoping to go to college, agrees with Wang's concern.
A passage from its book, "Cracking College Admissions" notes that the high success of many Asian-American students has generated concerns among some schools who allege there are "too many" on their campuses.
As explored in the Fox Nation special, the book says applying to college as an Asian American could be a "distinct disadvantage" at many elite schools. It also instructs applicants to refrain from including a photo of themselves in their application and withhold optional answers about ethnic background, if possible, as well as to avoid writing admissions essays about the significance of identifying with two cultures.
"I was scared of getting backlash on social media for it [raising awareness about unfair admissions]," Wang said. "For fighting for what I think is a really important issue."
But he found a space among Students for Fair Admissions.
"I gave them my test scores, and then they must've ran the model on that… [they] told me I had a 20% chance of getting accepted to Harvard as an Asian American and a 95% chance as an African American," he said.
