7onMySideNewark<\/a>: Newark teen accepted into seven Ivy League schools<\/span><\/p>\n My first thought when I saw this headline was, haha seven, why not eight?\u00a0 Which of the Ivies rejected him?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n But according to the article, for whatever reason, the #TRYHARD alleges that he only applied to seven, and was accepted into all seven of them, which leads me to think, why the fuck didn\u2019t he go ahead and apply to all eight at that point?<\/span><\/p>\n The odd Ivy out in this case was Cornell, and considering the #TRYHARD wants to study political science, I\u2019m thinking why the fuck didn\u2019t he go ahead and apply to Cornell as well?<\/span><\/p>\n I mean, he can\u2019t use distance as a reason, Ithaca is closer to Newark than Boston is, and Dartmouth might as well be on the moon in comparison to most of the other Ivies, so I can\u2019t really wrap my brain around why this #TRYHARD would apply to every single Ivy except for Cornell.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, acceptances are one thing, but there\u2019s no information given about scholarships, or if there were any scholarships even offered at all.\u00a0 As impressive as gaining entry to 7\/8 Ivies might sound, the real question is how he and his family are going to manage to pay for it, because scholarships are always disclosed in these #TRYHARD articles for further flexing, and his family runs a pizza shop.\u00a0 Going to imagine it\u2019s going to be quite the difficulty for he and his family to support the gargantuan tuitions and supporting expenses college is going to be, even if Harvard allows for certain financial thresholds to attend for free.<\/span><\/p>\n No matter though, good on this #TRYHARD for almost completing the Ivy Sweep.\u00a0 I don\u2019t necessarily believe that he didn\u2019t apply to Cornell, because if you\u2019re going to shoot for the moon, there\u2019s little reason why he wouldn\u2019t have gone after all of them, and it\u2019s like a marketing tactic.\u00a0 If 4\/100 people like a product, it can still be spun that 4\/5 like it, and toss the other 95 testers out, just like this kid can say he only applied to seven Ivies, and throw Cornell out.<\/span><\/p>\n Doesn\u2019t compete against some of the more notable #TRYHARDs of the #SZN, but anyone who can get into multiple Ivies, let alone one, is still worth mentioning.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 7onMySideNewark: Newark teen accepted into seven Ivy League schools My first thought when I saw this headline was, haha seven, why not eight?\u00a0 Which of the Ivies rejected him?
