But when she applied to her preferred schools, the University of Southern California and UCLA, she wasn't accepted. The rejections left her so upset she had an emotional breakdown and needed to be hospitalized in Boston. too many flavours of the month they have to let in free.. first before her... then there is the elite kids... by the time they get to whitey that deserves it, not many spaces left. I hope you win Lauren because you should. What you said. Exactly what you said. Key words: "That deserves it." I.E. "Merit," not social engineering. |

A nice girl from La should want to attend LSU, or SMU or UT or Texas A&M. There is something wrong here. Quoting: Pilgrim001 She thinks USC or UCLA will look good on a resume. Poor girl doesn't know yet that nobody gives a shit because it's all fake. I cannot even begin here to tell you how fake and rigged this system is. It's enough to make you want to go unibomber once you find out. It really is who you know. Now a total dumb shit like AOC? She'll go straight to Congress with university on full scholarship. 10-4, come on back! Not all schools are fake ... some are based on merit. I went to perhaps the most conservative private Christian university in the history of the world to study theology, and it was TOTALLY fake. Now, if a private, conservative theology school is in it for the $$$ at the end of the day, what do you think secular universities are about? They are all infected from the top down from accreditation agencies, and I do not care what fluffy or smart marketing shit they put on the fliers. It's ALL bullshit! Until you get the DOE and accreditation agencies out of this racket, you are screwed. Period! Believe that from a guy who has the story to tell.

So she got a ACT of 34, had a GPA of 4.0, and had a MAJOR Mental Breakdown, so serious it required hospitalization, when things didn't immediately go her way Sounds like USC and UCLA were CORRECT in their decision to not admit her. She was mentally unstable and who knows what would have set her off once she was on their campus. OH ... and fwiw I am sure they rejected thousands of other applications that had virtually identical academic indicators OR BETTER, and many from high schools that were ranked much higher nationally than the one she went to. OH ... and what was wrong with her going to LSU, at a much cheaper cost? Midwest Skeptic |

nutmeg User ID: 76388104 United States 03/15/2019 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Perhaps she applied too late. Colleges have a quota. They have "early admissions," and if it's a prestigious college, they are probably filled by December. Not only do colleges look at grades and scores on college entrance exams, they look to see if you did volunteer work, belonged to clubs, or played sports. All that goes into consideration. My kids got into every college to which they applied. One child didn't have the best grades, but she flew private planes, belonged to clubs in high school, and was on the varsity swimming team since 9th grade. She also received several awards for photography/graphic arts. Colleges look at more than grades! My grandson did all that and got into three colleges to which he applied...the three colleges of his choice. He also graduated #2 in his high school class. It's difficult to tell what that girl suing did wrong without more information. Again...good grades are NOT the only criteria for getting into college! They want the "well rounded student."

I always thought that was how it was done in those upper-tier schools. Quoting: Bullshitter They leave a small percentage of slots "open" for the random public, but the vast majority are bought. Either through "donations" or money-driven "networking". I'm more shocked at the outrage than I am the act. Thought everybody knew this was how it was done. Guess that's what I get for being a plebe. Everybody DID think this, but when pushed the elites would always deny it. This gave us the PROOF. |
