This is great to hear, some really hard workers! Amazing stories, the guy who came here knowing no english and of a poor family is now going to harvard!
What do you bet that there were better qualified, but less diverse, applicants passed over so that some of these 7 could be accepted.
There's always one that has to come in with an agenda. Yes, I'm sure ALL the Ivy league schools conspired together to accept these 7 random students to EVERY SINGLE Ivy league school.

That's a chump's bet. The smart money and my own personal experience is on this being a straight up example of a meritocracy in action. They wanted it more, worked harder, had excellent parental support and
simply out-tested everyone else. It goes further than getting into school too. You see this in the tech workplace all the time. I do a lot of interviewing of new college grads in computer engineering.
The applicants I see are 30% caucasian Americans, 50% Indians, 10% Asians and 10% other nationalities. The system isn't holding us 'non-diverse' natives down. It's our own fault. We aren't putting enough Americans into the pipeline.
Please don't use their accomplishments to judge other communities. -_-
