<p>I feel discriminated against on this site</p>
<p>We welcome and cherish you as part of our group when you are a freshman - sophomore or a senior who is working on his/her application. We listen to your fears and worries as you wait for the rejection letter. We share the same ideas and thoughts about high school as seniorithus takes place. We try to help you solve your problems that might often be sticky and heartbreaking. We console those who get rejected. We congratulate those who get accepted. We spit, dissect, and eviscerate those who get accepted to Harvard or Yale or Princeton; whether it be your race, GPA, SAT, ECs, essays, or the fact that you have no life (i.e: a nerd who can't play real sports).</p>
<p>haha - yes!</p>
<p>Don't feed the troll.</p>
<p>okay post #24 was the one that convinced me it's a troll</p>
<p>Yup - sorry bout that.</p>
<p>hey, seriously, what is a troll?</p>
<p>A troll is someone who writes fake posts in an attempt to get amusing responses, usually by starting a fight. In this case, someone wanted to get people worked up by claiming to be an extremely unjust admit to Stanford. It's an exaggeration. </p>
<p>Whether the real person behind this account was trying to make a point about affirmative action or was trying to make people mad is unclear. If the former, it would not be a troll, but rather a bad and slightly unethical debater.</p>
