WWNYTV7onmyside<\/a>: Massachusetts teen accepted into 88 colleges, amassing over $6M in scholarship dollars<\/span><\/p>\n As far as acceptance numbers, I think it\u2019s going to be a hard task for any potential #TRYHARDs to surpass the one chica who cleared like 155 and one in every state.\u00a0 But what piqued my interest with this #TRYHARD wasn\u2019t the acceptance numbers, but the amount of scholarship dollars he amassed in his 88 acceptances.<\/span><\/p>\n For context, Ms. Queen #TRYHARD and her 155 acceptances notched $6M in cumulative offers.\u00a0 But this kid out of Chicopee, Massachusetts also amassed $6M in scholarships from nearly half of the acceptances.\u00a0 That\u2019s an average of $68K per scholarship, versus the $38K\/per from the Queen of Westlake High.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t get to brag about having acceptances from random schools out in Idaho, Wyoming or North Dakota, but it\u2019s evident that schools see more value in this kid over Queen Spray and Pray.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, aside from Chicopee kid\u2019s ridiculous 4.39 GPA (like I still don\u2019t understand just how much extra work one has to do to blow past a 4.00 GPA so hard) is the fact that this egghead is all into AI and robotics, and is pursuing a future where he can work on AI systems and\/or robots.\u00a0 Considering he\u2019s from the New England area, and among his offers is Boston University, it seems like a very good possibility that he goes to BU, and then gets a job with Boston Dynamics, the company that is making robot dogs and robots that can run, do moonsaults and basically complete Ninja Warrior courses, and then contributes towards the rise of our eventual robot overlords.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, I got nothing else.\u00a0 Among his other notable acceptances were UConn, Florida, and Purdue.\u00a0 No mention of any Ivies, and as impressive as his GPA and his current acceptance haul is, the seeming lack of mention of any other extracurriculars lends to believe that he probably doesn\u2019t have any.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, he is not #TRYHARDing enough, and probably won\u2019t be worth mentioning again the rest of this #SZN.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WWNYTV7onmyside: Massachusetts teen accepted into 88 colleges, amassing over $6M in scholarship dollars As far as acceptance numbers, I think it\u2019s going to be a hard task for any potential #TRYHARDs to surpass the one chica who cleared like 155 and one in every state.\u00a0 But what piqued my interest with this #TRYHARD wasn\u2019t the … Continue reading #TRYHARDSZN2025: this one will contribute to our demise, Black Mirror style<\/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":[100,83,52,25,69,182],"class_list":["post-50509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-comparison","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-technology","tag-television","tag-tryharding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50509","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=50509"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50511,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50509\/revisions\/50511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
