<p>well I don’t have a “bully” per se, but it bothered me a bit when a complete dumbass got recruited to Harvard for basketball (on the condition that he gets at least a 1700 on the SAT, which, because of his general idiocy and complete lack of motivation, seems unlikely at this point…) while my best friend got rejected despite her excellent application.</p>
<p>I’d be mad if anybody I knew got into Harvard just because I’m jealous and annoying. But I’d never let it show, even if I hated their guts.</p>
<p>I’m actually surprised that people get angry when other people get into top schools. For me, I get really excited when people get into top schools because I can imagine how excited and relieved they were. It might be different if they got into my dream school and I didn’t…well, I don’t know.</p>
<p>I do understand being annoyed at recruits, though. There is a guy in my class who is SO. DUMB. Well, he is not necessarily dumb but he has a reallllllly bad learning disorder and whenever he opens his mouth we just kind of look at each other like “…did he really just say that?” Not in a mean way, though. He is really popular. He’s just…I don’t know. He got accepted into Penn, but he’s the kind of guy who’s like “Can I not do any work and just accept a B- in the class instead?” And at the same time, the smartest, most hardworking girl in my school is also going to Penn. So it’s kind of a sad comparison.</p>

<p>in all fairness, I swear I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad xD</p>
