“She has all A’s, who would like to admit?” 4 Raises Hand “She goes to waitlist” Well that wasn’t horrifying at all
-
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
-
"There are times honestly where I'm not sure why I put my hand up..." sounds kinda flawed to me
-
your gut? wtf students put their life into it
-
Admissions: “His cat is missing for a week now” Admissions: “Admit “
-
“His two parents went to Harvard, and three of his siblings went to Harvard...” So why the heck is he applying to Amherst College?
-
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
-
Our fate is in the hands of these people....
-
This disgusts me on so many levels
-
“With a 23 year old prostitute” “Admit?” all raise hands
-
"I'm kind of going with my gut here"... that's nice to hear
-
So basically if you havent been through horrible stuff yet, you're screwed
-
they are exactly how I pictured them to be.
-
What I took from this is that good grades come second to sob stories.
-
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.

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.

Well, this was terrifying...
