And this video came out way before the "varsity blues" scandal. That is the first thing that came to mind when they asked the one about the last name. Donate a ton of money to get a building named after you and you get a free ticket in.
In the end, does your GPA matter? Even with a 4.6 GPA, some kid with a 1.3 GPA with excruciating funds from a relatively successful business can surpass you.
Elite colleges won’t accept kids with lower than a 2.8 unweighted GPA, even if they’re on the dean’s interest list. It means they’re not academically prepared to pass the classes that college offers, which is their bottom line for selection.
So you’re telling me that if I have a 3.5 GPA with AP classes and played two varsity sports football and baseball that I’ll barely get in? But if the girl with a 2.8 GPA is a legacy and her family bought a library at the university she automatically gets in?
Just to be clear.... College isn't everything and just because someone has a lower GPA does NOT mean they didn't try and DEFINITELY not that they don't deserve to go to college if they wanted to
I'm actually someone who has a 2.8 yet I'm the most active and hard work person at my school who wins all the awards and scholarships. Also with numerous job offers. While my friends who have close to a 4.0 is struggling in life with 0 connections and a poopy job that they complain about all the time. (also never had won any awards or scholarships). I'm more happy (and in a way successful) compared to them...grades don't matter...at least not as much as what everyone says it to be.
Imagine people trying to convince others that parents paying for a spot for college for their kids is fine. Your kid should EARN their spot, not because someone has money or connections.
The thing about this is, if the first person in line (highest GPA) has something that applies too, in real life they would move up even if there were no other people ahead of them, causing some with lower GPA unable to catch up.

This is actually interesting
As someone with a 3.78 gpa about to go into senior year this video made me feel a lot better, I don’t know if it should have but I’m giving it my all.
Lol awesome
"If you are Asian and going into STEM, move to the last position of the line."
I really wish I watched this when I was still in high school.

🤣🤣🤣
damn. this is so true. especially the last one.
This video is fear mongering lol… college applications are wholistic not based on these small factors… applicants ignore this
Squid exam
If you are black move up 3 spaces, if you are asian move back two spaces
“If you plagiarized your college essay”, then admissions officers will automatically reject you from the school.
Bullshit
“Sports as a metaphor for life” so many kids in my class have done that every personal essay since six grade.
this is bullshit
The amount of 🧢 in this video is astonishing
Now who majors in Greek ?
The problem is no a days, the kids who have 4.0 do everything AND take ap classes 😭😭😭
If you're Asian (including South Asian)- move backkkk
was anyone else forced to watch this in 8th or 9th grade?
Wait. Are they being serious? Is this video serious?
No this video is inaccurate. It’s also rigged against the 4.1 GPA.

I am changing my family name... Lol
Never forget to change the college or university name! Okay!!!
i do not like the gal w the braids.
stage right vs right amirite?
Move down 6 spaces if u waisted
the college admissions process is hot trash
I did not expect that ending. It's the unfortunate reality though.
wait this is a joke right

Man I was really rooting for the guy with the 3.3 GPA
So that’s where my avid teacher found this game.
I hate that the girl with the lowest GPA ended up in the front just because of her name. That's really dumb.
its just a game.
Just to be clear.... College isn't everything and just because someone has a lower GPA does NOT mean they didn't try and DEFINITELY not that they don't deserve to go to college if they wanted to
Well, this logic is complete and utter shit.
It depends on the order of the questions. They clearly wanted the 4.1 to be behind the 2.8

I'm just making a comment cuz there are 910 comments so I want to make it 911 comments plz dont comment more
I wonder if American emergency rooms select who's next in a similar manner
ER’s aren’t allowed to deny care based on money tho. Hospitals don’t have to treat poor people, but their ER’s have to
Having a good G.P.A isn't everything

In the wise words of Gordon Ramsay, Fucking hell.

in summary: i’m not going to college
Okay so like, yes. But also no
Don’t let this fool you the 4.1 should be at the top she just made dumb mistakes don’t let you think a Hugh gpa is bad
If you have money, can cheat on the ACT, and lie about being on varsity teams, move up to the front and stay there!
I was recommended this 3 years ago and again now🤨
