[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another friend joked in private, of course, “my loser son is in at Brown. I have no idea how that happened. He sat on his ass this year and a half  playing games on his phone with class on in the background. He has all As for doing nothing. I think he only got in because of this class project where he helped kids from lower income schools learn how to play Minecraft. I am totally not kidding.”  [/quote]

Recommendation: next time you lie, check he timelines of you lie to ensure they are even possible (yours isn’t), then try not to use anecdotes that are difficult to believe, like someone saying “my loser son”.[/quote]

DP. Why is the timeline impossible? Brown has ED.
And it sounds harsh but some people are upfront about their child's lack of a work ethic.[/quote]

Again, check your timelines, liar.  Accepted ED means 5 months remote learning, with nearly no impact on transcript.

And “some people are upfront” does not = calling your kid a loser.  I have never heard of that, ever.  You are lying, flat out.[/quote]

Makes sense to me. He could still have gotten into Brown ED *and* sat on his ass for a year and a half doing nothing but playing games. He probably meant he sat on his ass doing nothing, got into brown, continued sitting on his ass.

The guy sounds like he is being sarcastic and sort of secretly gloating. His kid got into Brown without working hard. Do you think he's the only kid?[/quote]

No it does not make sense timewise.  At all.  It hasn’t even been a year and a half since remote learning began even.  Plus, its stupid. Do you truly think elite schools are suddenly letting slackers in?  Do you think his transcript - 99$ of which was from before remote learning - reflected his being a “loser”?

It’s a lie, meant to advance a narrative, which is false - that test optional is letting unqualified kids into elite schools.[/quote]
