[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do know you can transfer - right? I do not feel bad for anyone who just whines and doesn't try to do anything about it. [/quote]

If you watch this kid’s YouTube video on where he got in, you will see he is the child of immigrants with a very low income. I don’t think transferring is easy for kids that are on large amounts of financial aid. He was a questbridge finalist or something, so under $65,000 HHI[/quote]

Wonder if part of his problem is meeting kids there who have immense family wealth and he’s being eaten up with jealousy. It’s one thing to know that billionaires exist, it’s another to meet one and think “why him and not me?”[/quote]

May not be jealousy- but even if others are trotting to include him he would be excluded.

Kind of hard to not have any spending money and get asked to go to the Witherspoon grill for dinner and be expected to drop a min of $100.

Or get asked to go to someone’s ski house in Utah, and forget about not having $ for the flight but having to rent skis, get clothing, having $ for going out.

I am sure being around so many with $ is an issue - but I would not perceive it as jealousy but honestly not being able to fit in with Ben if others are not intentionally excluding him. He cannot easily live in their world unless they foot the bill for him - that’s a fact. [/quote]
