This is the guy who's been whining on X about not getting into elite colleges despite his essay being radioactively bad, right?

  "Even if there’s a 1% chance I continue my rate of success, wouldn’t they want to take the risk of being able to use my name in the future?" lol

    He's given a TEDx talk so I should listen to him, right?

    Apparently he ended up going to Yale instead.

    That guy walked the talk. It would be virtue signaling if any of us did it, but not him.
• owenpalmer 2y ago
  Yes, same guy. He wrote a list of all his accomplishments, whining about his college rejections. Painfully pretentious individual.

    I fed his college essay into ChatGPT and it absolutely roasted him.

      Given all the em dashes in his essay, that's probably LLM on LLM violence lol

  He should have just written #BLACKLIVESMATTER 100 times, because that's apparently all it takes to get into Stanford. Honestly though college essays are a bit of a joke, reviewing hundreds of them sounds like torture. The lack of rigor is probably the point though, since it gives the admissions process flexibility to ensure that legacy students get in and they meet their DEI targets.

    The Supreme Court said it’s illegal so presumably they’ve knocked that off now.
