I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s beating this<\/a>: Hinesville, Georgia high school senior accepted into approximately 231 schools, amassing approximately $14,790,695 in cumulative scholarship offers<\/span><\/p>\n Welp, I think we\u2019ve found our alpha #TRYHARD for the 2024 season, at least for the category of kids who apply to every single college under the fucking sun, because I can\u2019t imagine that there\u2019s anyone out there that\u2019s going to surpass 231 acceptances at this stage of the season where most selections have to be made, like last week.<\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s amusing to me from this article is the approximation as far as the number of acceptances and the cumulative scholarship dollars are concerned.\u00a0 Usually I feel like lots of these #TRYHARD stories just kind of round to a nice round number, usually 50+ unless it\u2019s really high, to which approximation comes into play, and I suppose when you\u2019ve got 231 fucking college acceptances, you really want to shout that from the rooftops.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean earlier in the year we had like 60+ and 80+, but this girl right here is the true queen, who clearly has been applying to colleges since 2022, because I remember how long a single college application takes, but to repeat the entire exercise over 231 times because I don\u2019t believe that it\u2019s possible for her to have batted a perfect 1.000 here, she clearly has been copy and pasting her credentials, or she\u2019s getting some sort of advantageous means to apply to all these schools on a fast track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, it does seem kind of fucked up, and really makes me wonder what the quality of life this girl has been living over the last few years, or wondering where she\u2019s had time to apply to all these schools on top of the supposed extracurriculars, volunteer work and workload commitments she must\u2019ve had.<\/span><\/p>\n Imagine if she had to pay for all these applications because I don\u2019t imagine she had to pay a cent if she\u2019s applying to over 231 schools.\u00a0 Google says the average is around $75-90 which is bullshit because I remember it being way higher when I was applying to schools, but even still, multiplying that to just 231 is still $17,325 on the low end, not including the schools applied to that she didn\u2019t get into, let\u2019s round up, and since all these #TRYHARDs love to spout numbers, let\u2019s estimate that she should\u2019ve been billed about $20,000 just to apply to all these schools but more than likely didn\u2019t have to pay.<\/span><\/p>\n But in true #TRYHARD fashion, as mind-blowing as 231 acceptances is, the lack of clarity on any notable acceptances, the rush to boast numbers and aggregate scholarship dollars, still indicates that the quality of the #TRYHARDING is on the low-end, especially considering her end result is selecting High Point University, in North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n I know where High Point is, since it\u2019s in that space between Charlotte and Greensboro, and I know if it as a place that signifies that the boring-ass stretch of nothing in between the two is coming to an end when going northbound.\u00a0 I also work a lot with a studio out there that did photography for my old company, and knew some nice folks there, but still by and large, High Point is a place where most people don\u2019t really know where it is and probably have to Google it in order to find out where it is, and the fact that out of 231 schools, High Point University is the one that wins out means that the pool probably wasn\u2019t populated by any heavy-hitters.<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, a free ride is a free ride, but High Point\u2019s average tuition is allegedly $42K a year for an out-of-state student, and if she\u2019s getting a free ride, we\u2019re looking at like $170K give or take.\u00a0 That being said, considering she amassed just under $15M in scholarships, I can\u2019t help but be curious to know what kind of underwhelming offers there were from the 230 other schools that don\u2019t have the dubious distinction of being selected by the 2024 queen of #TRYHARDs.<\/span><\/p>\n Whatever though, good on this #TRYHARD for getting a free ride.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure her parents are proud and relieved to know they won\u2019t have to pay for schooling, and that they\u2019ve got a child that will finagle an expensive piece of paper for free, and has demonstrated the ability to do a repetitive, monotonous task over and over again, like applying to mediocre colleges.\u00a0 Can\u2019t imagine the much more sky being the limit for these underwhelming expectations, but then again I also never finished college either, so I guess I should take my own advice and bow down to the queen (of #TRYHARDs).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s beating this: Hinesville, Georgia high school
