your gut? wtf students put their life into it
-
“She has all A’s, who would like to admit?” 4 Raises Hand “She goes to waitlist” Well that wasn’t horrifying at all
-
"There are times honestly where I'm not sure why I put my hand up..." sounds kinda flawed to me
-
The funniest part is that they tried to make this look fair and reasonable. 😂 4 years of agonizing stress in high school = 4 minutes of people raising hands
-
Our fate is in the hands of these people....
-
Admissions: “His cat is missing for a week now” Admissions: “Admit “
-
I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep
-
“With a 23 year old prostitute” “Admit?” all raise hands
-
This disgusts me on so many levels
-
What I took from this is that good grades come second to sob stories.
-
So basically if you havent been through horrible stuff yet, you're screwed
-
“His two parents went to Harvard, and three of his siblings went to Harvard...” So why the heck is he applying to Amherst College?
-
they are exactly how I pictured them to be.
-
"I'm kind of going with my gut here"... that's nice to hear
-
how do you get a 6.4... on a 4.0 scale...
-
The fact that I couldn’t tell if this was a joke or not is sad
-
These admissions officers honestly don't seem very intellectual. This is quite terrifying, to be completely honest. I guess a good thing to take from this is remembering that these admissions officers are real people, not robots, and half of what they're doing is based off of their own emotional state as well.
-
Well, this was terrifying...
-
4 varsity sports, 6.4 GPA, 5s in 4 AP tests?! Dang these kids are literally insane - I’m screwed 😀

How to make college admissions more fun: Apply to a college with a 100% acceptance rate and write "You want a personal statement? I lost my virginity to a vacuum cleaner!" When the admission rate drops to 99%, congratulate yourself. You made a difference.
