Katya wanted to be a therapist but little did she know she helped millions of us out of a bad day with her drag. Even the best therapist in the world couldn't reach this many people.
Mediocre? How about sub par? The mediocre kids are getting average grades while working part time at Applebee's. If your family is that rich and gave you all those advantages, and they still need to bribe people to get you into college, you're officially a dud. A rich dud who will be fine no matter what.
I don't know if this was clear, but, yes, I have mad respect for people going to high school and working part time to help their families, regardless of what grades they make.
@@MsSphinx91 It's not about getting into college for them, it's about getting into a prestigious college. The kids working at Applebee's aren't trying to get into Harvard.
“Standardized testing is no indication of anything other than your ability to take a long test.”-Katya Zamolodchikova As a teacher of disadvantaged youth(and someone who got a TERRIBLE ACT score), I agree wholeheartedly.
@@LS-tj2ho of course because the SATs and ACT are the biggest tests a high school student will ever take. These tests unfortunately determine if you’ll get into college or not. It’s crazy because they don’t mean much. An average or below average student could cram for the SATs or ACT, get accepted into college yet don’t take schoolwork seriously.
Right. If your kid was stupid, just say that. It makes you wonder about the IVY League schools like NYU - all the Kennedy’s went there. 💀 They’re all IVY League alumni’s. It can’t just be because of their name. I wonder if they were major donators/funders too.
Give the kid the $50 mil to start a business and mentor him to make the right decisions you did to be in that position. A legacy college is such a stupid thing to waste $50 million on.
That would be very funny. Like they say it's something else, they hide the title screen and it slowly dawns on her as she starts remembering Katya's references
It truly ANGERS me how they were all left scotch free and didn't really have to compensate for this. While black and brown people are often sentenced to jail for many years, for crimes proven innocent of.
No matter how much I studied, I just would get so bored and tired of taking a standardized test. The only one I ever did amazing on was in writing, but that was because I just get to write about stuff on my own.
So cringe Brian so cringe. Yeah sure so lets dismiss everyone who got high SAT scores thanks only to their intelligence and perseverance as ''making money''. In our country for example, these tests have significantly decreased the level of corruption/personal factors/prejudice for enrolling students. Maybe cause we don't have these absurdly rich people who can corrupt even this...
Seeing how involved the kids had to be in the process is the reason why I couldn't make myself feel sorry for Olivia Jade... she knew what was going on.
THANK YOU. Everyone was like "oh she didnt know what her parents were doing" and im like "bitch she posed for the fake photos! Shes KNOWS shes doesnt have the gradea, she KNOWS she doesnt do any sort of high level sport or other typical scholarship activity, she knew the whole time her parents were buying her way in. Maybe not the exact method of fraud, but she knew she didnt earn her place.
@@bluecollarlit They literally educated her to be entitled and fake instead of pursuing what she liked to do... That kind of confidence in their child O.O...
Like maybe they should’ve spent those resources actually learning a skill and tutors to get her into the school they wanted her to be in. Of course she’s spoiled and entitled and doesn’t wanna go to school, she wants to be an “influencer”.
right?? from what I've seen many want to go for the "experience", the clout, or bc of friends. but the truth is they will be just fine 😂😂😂 their future is secure
Katya, in a rare serious mode: 85% of their liquid assets could go towards impoverished- Trixie, unhinged: OR it goes toward MY liquid *ass* God bless them
12:44 It was so bad that Olivia Jade made instagram stories where she'd say things like, "I mean, I'm not going to, like, GO TO CLASS, I am mostly here for the social network and parties." And apparently no one saw that (like the school she attended) as a red-flag at all.
“This is disgusting and everything that’s wrong with the world and it makes me want to blow my brains out but Netflix is paying me to make jokes about it so guess I’ll try. 😬” - Katyas facial expression throughout this video
"if he [Singer] would only apply that level of hustle to dismantling the current system that allows for this kind of fraudulent tomfoolery" comrade Katya I love you
As an autistic person, them abusing accommodation for people like me is disgusting. Pretending to be disabled to get into a school? God, when are we getting rid of rich people, I'm so sick of them.
Honestly I actually Katya would be a great therapist. She has this way of talking about things, her perspectives are genuinely refreshing and if you watch any of her lives or old periscopes you will know what I mean. She is incredibly well spoken, intelligent and observant.
I got into one of the top universities in the world as part of a quota of kids from low income backgrounds and I felt completely undeserving of being there for the first few years. Even though my subject was my dream to learn about, I felt that my peers were more deserving than I was. That I was not equipped to handle this world financially or intellectually. Now I know that many privileges kids scheme their way into university, I have to look back and think I was probably more deserving than I gave myself credit for.
I feel you! i got a full ride almost to my college and I worked so damn hard for them. I then had a guy in college ask how I got them and I joked "cause I'm black and a woman" and he fucking believed me for 3 days. He was very sarcastic 90% of the time and he paid for all his college bills outta pocket even though we were both AP students. Acted like I didn't deserve it but dude that's not my mf problem I literally had to get scholarships in order to be able to go to that school and not be in devastating debt.
@@lexamona96 Scholarships are often awarded based on merit and can be difficult to get. You are certainly just as deserving if not more than any student paying out of pocket. It took me a little while to stop focusing on how I got there and focus on being there. You just prove them wrong by succeding at university.
@@lexamona96 Hurt my heart that both of you feel this way…and hope you continue your journey of being badasses. This country is set-up for most to fail. Your hardwork got you into those schools, and your smarts kept ya in. You both earned those spots and deserved the same opportunity. We have to break the cycles somehow, and help isn’t something to be ashamed of but a tool to make that change happen.
@@Mel-dg3etFirst of all, getting stipend or scholarships is NOT "getting help", it's working for your chance and earning it. Secondly, if you think USA is so bad, please come and try live in Ukraine, what with all the war... Or Iran or North Korea where people are persecuted or Nigeria or some other corrupted African countries where people don't stand a chance, and maybe you'll realize that it's not so bad in your country afterall. Or not.
Undergrad is just an expensive piece of paper, but after graduation, it's about who you and your parents know, so the rich just get their own kids jobs, while the rest of us write a bunch of cover letters that'll never get read because we don't have such references in our network.
I think my school was a rarity in that the BFA program I attended really did prepare you for real work situations instead of preparing me for grad school. Going to a school that didn't have a grad program really helped. Sorry you can't get a gig--hope that turns around for you before too long.
"...whose father created Hot Pockets..." Anyone else get Mean Girls flashbacks after hearing that part? "I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be too pleased to hear about this."
As a french person who live in France where public college is about 300€ (~450/500$) per year, the amount of money discussed in this video blew my mind ! 🤯
@@unethicaldrinkingwater for public ones, yeah ! And every public school from kindergarden to highschool is free. Education is a fundamental right so it should not be controlled by the money you have.
Coxswain is a position in crew (the thing where a bunch of ppl row in sync in that long boat). I think the coxswain is the one that yells so that everyone keeps in time. Usually the coxswain is a pretty small light person.
Can we just stop and look at how Katya seems so serious and fed up with this whole situation? Every time Trixie was like "WHT THE HELL???" Katya would just sigh and agree, like "Yeah, that's how it goes, I've seen a bunch of these already"
so disgusting how dude said the daughter had to be "stupid" and get shit wrong to fake a learning disability..really shows what these people think of neurodivergent folks 😐
"I didn't know it was possible to, if you're rich, call someone and say 'can we pay this much to get in'" sis, let me tell you- I went on half tuition to an extremely expensive high school. One of my friends there had a dad who literally sold mansions for a living, there were no driving classes, no shop classes, no home ec, we had chefs that literally fresh-cooked multiple different meal options every day and my peers would COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM... and most importantly, there was this mandatory class we had to take in order to graduate which prepared us for college applications. During that course, we had one class where we had to pretend to be a college board of admissions and choose which students to let in. At the very end of the debate, two fictional candidates were left. One, a girl who had earned scholarships and scored consistently high grades but was a first-generation college student. The other, a boy who nearly flunked out of high school, had terrible recommendations from his teachers, and most importantly: his parents left a hefty donation to our college. I spent the *entire class* debating with the other real students over which candidate we should let in. Every. Other. Student. in that class genuinely believed that it was morally wrong not to accept the bribe and let the bribe student in, because every other student in the class empathized with the bribe student and not the one who actually earned a spot in college. The class ended with every other student being unwilling to budge. We never came to an agreement. After the class, one of the teachers pulled me aside and broke it to me that these were real conversations that college boards actually had, that it is actually like that.
the amount of times i’ve heard trixie talk about going to theatre school and then ‘as if that wasn’t gay enough’ going to beauty school right after is too many
as sm1 with severe learning disabilities that have not only disadvantaged but traumatized me for my whole life, every time i rewatch this video i shed tears when they talk abt "acting dumb" for an LD test
So my 1st choice school (a state school in the middle of nowhere) put my admission on hold until I get a better ACT score and raise my GPA a little. I took the ACT 3 times, worked my but off to get my GPA up, and did so many extra curricular activities and got in. What’s sad is I later talked to some slacker in one of my college classes who told me that he had lower scores and GPA than me and got accepted easily, which made me wonder why my school made me put all that work in if it didn’t even matter. Anyway I now have a bachelors degree and over $20,000 in debt.
The rich could’ve bought their children a career instead of paying for them to get into college. 💀😂 Honestly, when the whole scandal with Lori and her daughter went down, I wasn’t surprised. If you’re rich, what else are you gonna do with your money? You’re not gonna use it innocently entirely.
as someone who went to a bougie elite college as a working class person... youre not just overpaying for a degree, youre also overpaying to get looked down on by most of the students there
