Roux<\/a>: Utah senior has perfect ACT scores, can\u2019t get into MIT or even Brigham Young<\/span><\/p>\n Not going to lie, sure it sucks for this teenager whose dreams appeared to be crushed that his 1A and 1B schools have both turned him down, but I found myself laughing a lot while reading this because of the seemingly very obvious answers to his rhetorical questions of whhhhyyyyy?<\/span><\/p>\n But why was Trenton Caldwell rejected by both MIT and BYU? But because both schools didn\u2019t say, he may never know.\u201cIt\u2019s pretty frustrating because I really feel like if I knew what it was, I would be able to fix it lickety-split, but it\u2019s just impossible really because I have no idea,\u201d said Trenton.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I mean come on.\u00a0 I don\u2019t even need to Google the name \u201cTrenton Caldwell\u201d to know this guy is whiter than a Paul Ryan intern. A name like that, living in Utah, having Brigham Young as one of your top college picks?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is an amusing example of the effects of a gradually awakening culture, where the pendulum may have swung back in the opposite direction a little on the hard side, and it\u2019s kind of disadvantageous to be white and applying for colleges these days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In one side of the room, you\u2019ve got black and Hispanic kids applying for 120 colleges presumably for free, getting into 63 of them, and then boasting on the news about how blessed they are, and on the other side of the room, you\u2019ve got Ben Affleck and Ben Affleck putting their eggs into the 1-2 schools they really really really really hope they can get into as well as a safety school or two, and getting turned down without explanation which is one in itself if they took the time to look in the mirror and thought about what their elders did, it almost seems about as fucked up as racial exploitation.<\/span><\/p>\n But buddy, nobody owes you any explanation, and let this be a good lesson as well as a sample of what awaits in the adult world.\u00a0 You can be the most qualified applicant for the job of your dreams, have the paperwork, proof, references and be ready to explain why you\u2019re a perfect fit, but if the HR recruiter got cut off in traffic on the way to the office, or their pour over was short 0.027 ounces, and they\u2019re in a pissy mood, they will delete your application without an explanation on every single day that ends in the letter Y.<\/span><\/p>\n Really though, it must suck for Ben Affleck over here.\u00a0 The day he opened up his test results and found out that he notched a perfect score on his ACT, he probably thought that the world was his for the taking.\u00a0 MIT would undoubtedly be impressed with his perfect score and undoubtedly accept him.\u00a0 Boston, here I come.<\/span><\/p>\n But no, MIT sends him a form letter of rejection, wishing him well on his future endeavors and sorry it didn\u2019t work out for us.\u00a0 And then to rub salt into the wounds, BYU turns him down too, and neither give anything more than a form response to why he didn\u2019t get in.<\/span><\/p>\n All this being said, by the time the dust settles from #TRYHARDSZN2024, Ben Affleck will probably already be on reddit, truth social, or whatever alt-right internet groups bemoaning how much it sucks to be white now, and being earmarked as a promising recruit for whatever future Charlottesville incidents will occur probably not too far from now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Roux: Utah senior has perfect ACT scores, can\u2019t get into MIT or even Brigham Young Not going to lie, sure it sucks for this teenager whose dreams appeared to be crushed that his 1A and 1B schools have both turned him down, but I found myself laughing a lot while reading this because of the … Continue reading Doesn\u2019t pay to be white during #TRYHARDSZN2024<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,83,52,89,182,190],"class_list":["post-49935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-fail","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-racism","tag-tryharding","tag-white-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49935"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49937,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49935\/revisions\/49937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
