S\u00f3s<\/a>: Westlake High senior accepted into 17 colleges, amassing over $1M in combined scholarship offers<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m convinced the only thing students are taught at Westlake High is how to apply to colleges, and once they become proficient at it, it\u2019s all they do every day at school.\u00a0 Because this is<\/a> the third time this<\/a> #TRYHARDSZN that I\u2019m dipping into a story about students at Westlake High who have been accepted into a large number of colleges; all of which have made sure to mention the aggregate dollar amount of scholarships they\u2019ve been offered, which is typically the tell-tale sign that most of the schools they were accepted to aren\u2019t really that prestigious.<\/span><\/p>\n But to review, we\u2019ve had students that cleared 63 and 50 acceptances, and then one who cleared 50+, so a student \u201conly\u201d being accepted into 17 schools seems kind of booty in comparison, especially seeing as how in their insufferably terrible senior wall where all students humblebrag or be ashamed of how many or how little schools they\u2019ve been accepted into, there were more than just a few that probably had 17+ acceptances posted on the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n However, doing the math, and clearing $1M in combined scholarships out of just 17 acceptances blows the fuck out of water compared to the other TRYHARDs of the SZN who needed 50+ schools to clear the $1M mark.\u00a0 Which means that she\u2019s gotten some substantially heavier ride offers from fewer schools than her peers at CollegeApp High.<\/span><\/p>\n One thing that is a little different about this #TRYHARD\u2019s story is that she actually has a pick named, and isn\u2019t just being mum about where she\u2019s going to go because they\u2019re still phishing out a free ride from somewhere; and it\u2019s of all the schools in the country, she\u2019s picking Notre Dame.<\/span><\/p>\n I respect the ambition and the absolute get-the-fuck-out-of-the-hood mentality she\u2019s taking, but I have to imagine it\u2019s going to be a tremendous amount of culture shock going up to South Bend.\u00a0 Especially from southwest Atlanta, going to lily-white Indiana where the winters are going to be brutal and the number of black people is going to feel like she\u2019s going to Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n But considering her successes with #TRYHARDing, she\u2019ll probably be alright in the end.\u00a0 Good on this one for actually stating intent to go somewhere remotely prestigious, and not just doing it for humblebragging attention.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" S\u00f3s: Westlake High senior accepted into 17 colleges, amassing over $1M in combined scholarship offers I\u2019m convinced the only thing students are taught at Westlake High is how to apply to colleges, and once they become proficient at it, it\u2019s all they do every day at school.\u00a0 Because this is the third time this #TRYHARDSZN … Continue reading #TRYHARDSZN2024: Just 17??<\/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":[79,100,78,83,143,52,89,182],"class_list":["post-49951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-cashmoney","tag-comparison","tag-lowered-expectations","tag-observations","tag-ohatlanta","tag-owned","tag-racism","tag-tryharding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49951","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=49951"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49952,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49951\/revisions\/49952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
