“I get extremely frustrated when I see the partying, binge-drinking potheads from my school getting into USC, UCLA, Berkeley, even Harvard.”
Oh please. First, if you have the right last name, you can get into an elite private – including USC and Harvard – even if you’re a partying, binge-drinking pothead.
Second, how do you know that these partying, binge-drinking potheads don’t have stellar grades and excellent stats? Weirder things have happened.
