And in spite of that? Denied from every single Ivy League school.
It makes no sense. My head is spinning.
And for those of you who love to say “it’s because of the essay”, here’s mine. Tell me how I could have done any better. pic.twitter.com/vrLKhovXRI

Uses death of younger brother to make himself look good
Inhales >heavy aroma of mathemathics
Oh this is bait

It probably is bait but there's enough entitled idiots out there in STEM who really couldn't tell the difference between "collage" and "college" due to not giving a rip about English or the humanities, that I can't completely write it off as fake.
Be a great B-list thriller movie about a serial killer, though: needing the rush of inspiration after a death in the family to continue with his studies, if his family are selfish enough not to die on schedule to help him out, well he'll just have to make it happen!

He's Asian which is why he's claiming it's racism. I think some people in the comments did pick up on the joke, though. Our very own TracingWoodgrains is even there!

Chuds are so wrapped up in race issues that they have lost the ability to detect flaws in other white people. Gotta have solidarity

Look, anyone who brags about "breathing in heady aromas" should be banned form every civilised place in the country. "My brother died but I didn't let it define me" - friend, you are using it in this darn essay as a tearjerker to get you admitted, instead of keeping quiet about it. And yeah, funny how everyone around you seems to die.
