NO HE DID NOT. There was no deal. Stop spreading that lie.
That's not how TMs work

She specially said it was NOT a deferred prosecution.
Hahaha, I actually think we are arguing about determined. The input matters but doesn’t decide is all I’m saying.
Haha, that easy to spot, huh?
Sorry to add, but yes, I agree that it’s nice to have a civil discussion on the internet.
Ha, that is probably why we disagree—I am also a lawyer.
The good grades and scores are deserved, yes—those are earned. But, nothing else is. Nothing else is deserved because one achieves high grades and test scores in high school.
AHHHH, but that’s the thing—there is no “last one out.” Like, that is not how admissions work at these institutions. There is a last one in, sure, but, even acknowledging that obscures how these decisions are made. The “last one in” is coming off the waitlist and only because someone that has been offered admissions…
We earn money for work—i.e. we are entitled to money for that work. There is an agreement: If you work, you get money. We work hard in high school—we are entitled to nothing, because there is no agreement. If you work hard and do well in high school, you may and are more likely to get admitted to a selective…
Absolutely. Yes, in aggregate, there is no doubt that this has had an effect on other applicants and their potential admission, but I just hate the idea (generally) that some rejected applicant should feel like “their” spot was “taken” by someone else who matriculated, as a participant in this particular scheme or…
Lol, do you realize how many lives would be literally transformed with one-time access to $20k? Many. $20 grand is more than half of the median black household’s pre-tax annual income.
I get where you are coming from (and actually probably agree), but your analogy is pretty weak, since the vast majority of crimes are committed by the intended beneficiary...
They’re still taking a spot from a student who actually earned it.
Lol, the Kinja drama is fueling me. Every participant is a narcissist and/or nuts! It’s great!
Let’s not be disingenuous. The reason OJ is getting so much attention is because she is already “famous”. The Georgetown girl is a relative nobody, so the tabloids/press are interested in the juicier story.
Students get a cursory “don’t cheat” talk, but no, cheating is definitely not taken seriously, unless blatant.
Lol, I definitely can relate to college being an absolute breeze requiring very little time or outside of the classroom—this anecdote didn’t surprise me one bit. It’s not true for everyone, of course, but some are just good at school. I went to a USNWR top-1o-ranked university, graduated a semester early with two…
Plenty of states have this. IL, for example: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/illinois-driving-laws-seniors-older-drivers.html
Ghost pretty much answered your question, but yeah, basically not returning the blue slip is equal to the threat of filibuster.
