Ikr im so mad

And all just because she knows people

Yeah as messed up as it is, it’s truly about who you know and not what you know sometimes

Isaac Adams yea WTFFFD

Not really. Her family donated millions to build the library. Millions + tuition = she deserves to go there.

Nora Carrell yup long live lesson to always follow

why am i like this ikr

A Tillery she wrote an application essay she just didn’t write the optional essay.

A Tillery because her family is rich and donated to the school in this scenario.

Yeah lol

Well her fame donated millions so of course

All because someone in her family was part of the college😤🙄

Harry Wang exactly, more people need to understand that the girl in the front only got there due to here connections

Sikh Gamer Not connections, winning the genetic lottery. If the school library is named after her family's name, then they made a gigantic donation, and she happens to be a member of that family.

Sunken Ships either way she is only in the front due to being lucky and not anything to have to do with intelligence

She may have gotten in but she wouldn't make it past the first year🤣

How the fuck does last name matters?

asseater007 LOL

asseater007 lol I was thinking of 3.1

Cmon 3.7 don’t disappoint me!

My school doesnt go above 4.0 D:

3.0 LETS MOVE IT CMON!

adrienne no shit Sherlock, she mentioned an Eagle Scout and a girl moved

Antonio Delfino what’s an Eagle Scout? Someone who hunts eagles ?

it's like the official name for Boy Scouts

An Eagle Scout is the highest rank a boy scout can go. It requires a lot of work to obtain, and often includes a large community service project, as well as meeting all of the other requirements. It's seen as a great achievement and will help on any resume or college application. However, it's only available to boy scouts, and girl scouts don't really have an equivalent.

Ashley Miller I’m an Eagle Scout

akatsukibri Yup. Currently, many white people dont get into universities because of affirmative action, and are replaced with POC students, instead.

So true

Whizzer are you assuming that ALL of the white students of whom you speak were more competitive than ALL of the POC? “Replace” is a word dripping with entitlement... the same entitlement you think affirmative action confers on POC. Oh the irony.

Well if you really don't like affirmative action, then you are welcome to apply to a california college like UC Berkeley or UCLA..... where you will still be denied because there is never a single determining factor in admissions (except donating millions).

@@maksymprotsko1373 ahahahaha nice joke.

because we are the best

It's a money thing. Sports events bring in huge cash flow to the school so athletes are prioritized. It's hard to monetize orchestra to the same extent.

Kayla Elaine Sports are extracurricular activitirs that you take outside of school whereas the other activities you listed you take in your school day so when you do sports outside of school it shows that you have good time management skills

Sports make money

Rebecca Hughes Not really us athletic kids have to work really hard to master our craft you might work 13 hours a day before school starts but we have worked since elementary thru middle school to get to the level we are so to put it in question no you don't work harder then us neither do we work harder but If I it was my opinion playing sports is more energy draining and you can get hurt really bad so I'd not say you work harder while your in your chair listening to notes which isn't fair at all

Also, colleges won't be impressed if you challenge yourself with your coursework and get bad grades (3.1 GPA) lol

So you're gonna tell them huh? You really think so? There are a lot of intelligent worthless individuals out here...they'd rather have a 3.3 student who is ambitious and willing to contribute to things other than themselves, vs. a 4.0 student who is just a smart ass who is destined to only be a critic, and probably will fail the sociology class on the first day. Got to get out there and make some mistakes...

swifftouch you already know buddy out here had a 3.1 and is super self conscious

+osomosis jones lol

swifftouch your so right because I don’t have the best gpa than some people in my school and I got accepted to a good school and those who had a good gpa but didn’t do nothing after school weren’t accepted

gpa cant tell who you really are it just cant nd if you think so you and others are fools for thinking that cant wait to see college decline i swear

burger6599 I never stated it tells you who you are. How does GPA determine who you are?! You character, personality and the experience you went through in life determines who you are. I stated, it was helpful to see the different things colleges look for. I also stated that 4.0 was cute. Don't call me a fool because you took my comment out of extent or misunderstood my comment. Besides, I all ready registered and got (accepted) into the college I wanted to go to.

wait what?

burger6599 she means the girl holding the 4.0 gpa card is cute not the fact that she has 4.0 makes her cute.

Thank you :)

It means your family has made a financial contribution to the college, so in a way, the college owes you/your family a favor.

Pim Singhatiraj thx!

Legacy student

Christopher Nguyen so unfair to the people who are actually good

Your neck here possibly, but she had the lowest gpa so it’s not likely

LOL

Yes!✊ I agree

Why??

Kaminari 😦

Kaminari if you believe a socialist jewish man split the ocean in two, sit down, you are intellectually inadequate

Hannah Sims it’s not that she has money it’s that they used money to help others

Ramen Noodles but it gives her an edge in college admissions

@@somkeshav4143 it may give an edge in admissions, but it won’t during the curriculum. Professors do not care that your father donated money. If she is so undeserving of that school, she will not make it through. I’ve seen people be handed things in a similar way, it is not helpful, and it coddles them into not learning from mistakes they’ve made in the past.

@@stormnegele463 yeah the curriculum might annoy her a bit on grading, but knowing how people with money can buy tutors and other resources to get a leg up on the competition, I won’t be surprised at some improved results. The only way to fail is not to give a shit at all

@@somkeshav4143 it’s the unfortunate reality

Psychology as well as Political Science and a few more are considered fluff classes. They have no weight in college.

Valentina Miranda so impacted, everyone does psych lol

Clax meanwhile in Germany psychology is crazy competitive (pretty much as competitive as medicine) and you need perfect grades to get in...

S an And look at how Germany is. Disgruntled and overwhelmed. They need psychology,

Clax Fluff? No weight? I majored in psychology. I worked my ass off. Rather I think it's because it is commonly impacted.

Brianna Bucello She got in because her family is probably a huge benefactor for the school. Hence the reason why her last name is the same last name that’s on the library. “And it’s not a coincidence”

Pokemon Trainer Blue yea but she shouldn’t have moved to the front of the line for it especially cause she has a low gpa

Lolli Polli01 I get she’s able to get in but she shouldn’t have been moved to the top of the list

It's cuz her family runs the college so she automatically gets in without even trying

Brianna Bucello You're right, she SHOULDN'T have that advantage. But sadly, things like this happen all the time. Nothing is ever fair in this system. You just need to have the right connections and everything will go your way. But that's different for some people who need to work their buts off to even have a CHANCE at going to a prestigious​ school.

EXACTLYYYY OH MY GAWD

Exactly people are so stupid lmao

The whole purpose of a donation is so that you don't expect anything in return, it's literally in the name. If you gave a school money purely to increase your chances of getting accepted, that is called bribery and it's a felony. While money doesn't grow on trees, the Federal Government is taking large part of people's salaries. If they can give money to unemployed people, healthcare benefits, food stamps, then they can give scholarship money to students who deserve it.

@@olofmeister1320 donations have to be by a legacy, not you. It also depends what a family member has donated to and how much like if it funded building or aids in supporting school programs, It doesn’t work with donations for scholarships etc.

You know what? People who do goods things because they expect something in return, really aren’t good people at all. You deserve nothing in this world. You earn it. I will never understand people like you. Disgusting behavior

Money buys everything ;)

2.8 isn’t that bad

Here’s how you should think about it, if someone donates millions to a school, they expect to get something out of it, especially when that money is going towards a building at the school that will bring in more students. The children of the people that made their school possible are going to have dibs. Which may suck,BUT, look on the bright side; that is a very small group of people. If they are so undeserving of attending that college, it will show on class scores. While the school may help out a student for their name, I’m very confident that a professor will not.

@@ALLEN-dh5mi Lmao 2.8 is terrible

whatwhen999 She is if her family has donated tons of money to the school which is the scenario that was implied here.

That's not true

She is if she is a legacy and her parents have donated tons of money to the school lol she's pretty much guaranteed in

whatwhen999 i has a 2.8 GPA and a 33 ACT and i’m going to fordham university, GPA isn’t everything

claire tinsley are your parents rich?

Dragon Thai no lol that’s just because she did a bunch of other stuff too..

Of course, GPA matters lol its just not the only thing that could affect your acceptance

How can it be 4.1 out of 4 im really concerned, can you let me know?

@@littlebanana7372 asians invented extra credit

@@littlebanana7372 If you take AP, IB, or an honors class then your GPA is weighted on a 5.0 scale. An A in a weighted class is a 5.0 (honors an A = 4.5). I hope this explanation helps!

pepa

Axel Esparza fr

Axel Esparza 4.0 is better

Mc Nuggets Why not both?

aesthetichoshi u got a point 😂💀💀

According to this video, yes. I don't see any reason it should though.

That won't alone effect your chances enough but it will considering you are doing what you're parents haven't and making a better choice

For some colleges, this might even qualify you for a scholarship

Yes, being the first in your family to go to college will help you a little bit. However, do not let this one aspect of the application be what you fall back on. Get involved! Research opportunities, leadership, rigorous course work and high grades. You want to stand out from the applicant pool!

Keyhla Rodriguez maybe motivation wise

mason buckwalter lmaaaaooo

Big oof

Mood

hahah

Bre Nicole No way people with higher gpas are still likely to get in there are just other things that helped. I personally relied more on my gpa, sat score, and essay cause I didn't do a lot of extraciriculars but everyone is different. The students who kept a decent gpa, challenged themselves accademically, and worked on stuff they cared about seem do the best.

Make sure to take part of a summer program. Instead of volunteering, create a community outreach project. Admissions counselors are looking for leadership potential and passion. If you are in the top 1% for reading skills and science, what are you doing to help your community? Are you developing programs that may help underrepresented students? Are you seeking an internship around that field for the summer? Are you pursuing a research opportunity at a university? For your GPA, are you taking the most rigorous course work like honors and AP classes? These are questions you should ask yourself as admissions counselors may be asking themselves the same thing when they are coming across your application.

Jackson McKagan ur just trying to show off

I rather work minimum wage for 400 hours rather then waste all of that time on a shitty 2-5k scholarship...

Jon Trollston W.

Even though they didn't talk about the act and sat you really really need to do well in, colleges look at that and gpa more than how much service and stuff you do because all they want to do is seem like a better institution so they can make more money

Dance Nation Yeah but if your name is associated with the school then don't worry about your shitty gpa!!

Dance Nation I have a 1.6

Does a high SAT make up for a 2.9?

+Brenna Hasselmann Not really. You'll be seen as lazy by the admission office.

Not really. A 4.0 is a perfect A, a 3.5 is an A- average, a 3 is a B+ average, so a 2.8 is basically an 86-88% average.

Yeah but you can score way lower on your SAT and still get in 230 points to be exact and there are scholarships just for being black

+Emma Jackson that's because they get subsidies ...they get free money from the government that isn't extracted from the loans.

Christina Are their gpa's lower?

Christina They can score lower on everything and have less activities while still getting into a good college. Blacks getting a 1400 on the SAT is like getting a perfect score for non blacks.

Where is everyone getting this information from? I really need to know.

EcHo_aWAITs rip

That’s really sad

Sad

Courtney Michelle having a 2.8 ain’t that bad

@@ALLEN-dh5mi it really is

You have to be part of the family, not just share a last name.

not true. It turns out that students who recover from what they did wrong in high school tend to do better than the soon-to-be lazy 4.0 students who jack off in college. GPA is just one out of the 5 things that colleges receive.

You're pretty.

You go girl!! That’s really hard to do

A lot of schools like to recruit for athletics. If you are good at a particular sport, I would suggest joining your high school team for potential recruitment opportunities. Other than that, make sure you put a lot of thought into your essay/interview for the college. Also, keep in mind that where you go for grad/med school doesn’t have to match for undergrad. People I know went from a small private college in undergrad to MIT for grad school, so your med school doesn’t have to determine undergrad

ChewyWolf You should get a part time job so you can save up money to go there. That and go to a community college first and then transfer to the university. It will help you accumulate less debt, trust me.

Um. What school do you go to...? 'Cause at my school, it's impossible to get over a 4.0 as a freshman, and you can't take AP until junior year. Is it because I'm at a public school with not so much funding?

it's possible they go to public as well! At my school, which is public, we have the option of taking G/T classes, mostly directed towards 9th and 10th graders, which you may know- it's a level above honors basically. Even though it's only one level above honors, it's weighted the same as an AP course, so if you take those instead of honors, it's a great GPA booster. it could be because of funding but you may want to ask your student services about accelerated programs offered in your county if you're looking for a higher GPA.

Facts

How'd the college thing go?

ThePsychoticBallers college wouldn’t exist without donations. They’re non profit organizations

Blauteasian Love lol I hope you realise colleges look at your classes not just your grades.

If you don’t take an AP good luck lol

We are on the exact same page. You even typed it in correct order! lol
