Jamie Ding is on a Jeopardy winning streak...
I actually live in NJ (I'm a California transplant by way of UC Santa Barbara) so I'm bi-coastal, and I actually live near Seton Hall University in South Orange, NJ.
Jamie Ding is the toast of the town! A Jersey guy through and though, he's a Princeton University graduate working for the State of NJ and is currently a Seton Hall law student. The brilliant mind of a Princeton guy, but also has that edge of a Seton Hall guy as well. It's a pretty unique combo. Seton Hall Law has quite a few Asian guys (undergraduate too has many Filipino students) but Ding is definitely the most high profile Asian American from Seton Hall. Their law school is promoting the hell out of him and they are making him the face of Seton Hall Law School. Princeton University where he graduated on the other hand barely talks about him.
Ding is not only smart but is bold, tough and assertive without being mean and part of this is because of his background as a government employee and Seton Hall education (he is studying to become a lawyer).
Kinda off topic but I noticed a lot of second and third tier universities seem to be making a bid at Asian Americans. While ivies and other elite schools are turning them away a lot of second and third tier schools are welcoming them with open arms. Obviously these schools hope these brilliant Asians rejected from the Ivies will boost their academic standing but i do believe these universities genuinely want a more diverse student body and want more Asians. Tons of non-Ivies universities are actively recruiting out of China for example. Part of Northeastern University's strategy was recruiting heavily out of China as has schools like Stony Brook.
