Teen applies to hundreds of colleges, earns $9M in scholarship offers 

Well I got 1480 back in the old days and didn't get into Georgia Tech, MIT, VA Tech...I eventually got into UGA ... So...maybe he aced it!

@@FlappyBelly 1480 is a strong score. Congrats and go Dawgs!

@@lindaleg3659 Thanks...but what would I have needed to score to get $9m in scholarships?

@@FlappyBelly you and I both know the answer to that one.

Yeah this is odd. Did he have to pay an application fee like I did ($45)?

thats how the world works.

@@sundivers so he really paid like $7600 in fees for scholarships he will never use?

I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one who noticed this. It's remarkable that he has managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA while simultaneously taking college courses and high school classes. However, this achievement doesn't seem to have improved his eloquence or command of the English language. It will be intriguing to observe the long-term implications of this situation, and one can only hope that the young man hasn't been propelled forward as a pawn in someone's social experiment.

Aren’t you happy you got that 1480? That’s so awesome! I just know you’re so thankful for the available study guides and help 😉 you took advantage of. I know some folks who had no assistance whatsoever and kicked tail. Myself included. 😆

@@johnlee5965 Huh?

@@FlappyBelly What do you mean huh?

@@johnlee5965 I just don't know the point about trying to get scholarship money for schools you have no intention on going to and at least temporarily taking it from other students. I think you think I had some help or something to not get into my desired colleges...but I just did self study, watch Jeopardy and be an asset to my community. That wasnt enough because of the color of my skin. This guy did great (although looks like he ignores English classes and debate team) ... But seems to be doing this more for internet clout rather than education.

Some of these scholarships are race-based….. So it’s not as great as it appears . It’s actually kind of bad.

@@Americansikkunt - I agree, but it would be foolish not to use these opportunities while they're in place.

@@619keno You’re probably right about that. Use it if it’s offered. And your initial comment is something is agree with.

The limitations aren't coming from "individuals fear of failure". Its coming from the community believing the BS about "systemic racism" and how the system is "rigged against them". Which is absolute crap because like the other guy said, there's so much affirmative action going on that colleges literally give a way scholarships just for being a minority.. Then they have the gall to say that Whyte ppl are the privileged ones.

​@@AmericansikkuntI would like to know that as well.

No. One common application is all he needed. Also, standardized testing, even at Harvard and Yale, is optional.

@@josephkennedy4091 When did that change?

Dnt hate

You are not the only one who thinks this is bs.

STEM degrees from highly ranked schools generally lead to amazing internships and high paying jobs.

@@anderszidane973 I personally know 5 ppl who majored in computer science and they work fast food with me because they couldn’t find work

@@devinmccampbell8110 depends on the school but overall all college material is just theory small amount of coding companies take the risk on computer science people but experienced developers can take there jobs because they rather hire someone with experience
