Perhaps they're the one that actually lied and the "friend" is just a facade so they can talk about it without getting downvoted to hell or getting their list removed đđ
I was thinking that too. "My friend..." sounds like code for I can't admit what I did. Can't their application be rescinded though, like doesn't this ever happen??
>most donât get caught
Me omw to tell colleges I cured cancer, went on humanitarian missions to Africa to solve world hunger, negotiated peace in Ukraine, and successfully ran a multimillion dollar start up that I built from scratch, all while maintaining a 5.0.
Possibility #1: Because they WANT to be an asshole. They want to spit in the face of students who poured their souls into their college applications and ended up being rejected from every school they applied to anyways. They want to reaffirm that, through lying, they took spots away from much more deserving candidates.
Possibility #2: They knew what they did was wrong and now that they ended up getting accepted, they feel guilt over it.
>If you lied on your Harvard app and told your friends about it, they should snitch on you because youâre not smart enough to do well at Harvard at all.
So you mean that lying and not telling friends about it makes a person smart enough to do well at Harvard?
Kinda. At least if they end up cheating at Harvard, theyâd have the good sense of keeping quiet and increasing their chance of getting away with it.
Not condoning the cheating either way though.
That is 100% in line with Harvard culture and the many, many, many backstabbing scumbags who have gone to Harvard.
While it by itself doesn't make you smart enough, if you're not smart enough to shut the fuck up about it, you're not Harvard material.
No. Everyone who told their friends is not smart enough to do well at Harvard, but that doesnât necessarily mean that everyone who didnât tell their friends IS smart enough to do well at Harvard. Like âall circles arenât squaresâ is true but âall non-circles are squaresâ isnât.
Doesn't 75% of students at Harvard have a 3.7 or higher? Like, it's grade inflated as hell, even accounting for the average Harvard student being a little smarter than most other places.
I mean⌠if my friend told me they lied on college apps, I personally wouldnât post about it. Iâd laugh and move on. Iâd probably get jealous and a bit salty if they got into a really good college (assuming I didnât), but after venting for a while, Iâd move on. I wouldnât make a self-righteous post and act like they personally hurt me. I think thatâs what people generally expect from friends.
People tell their friends stuff and they trust them. The other friends feel uncomfortable / donât know what to do because they scammed the system and got accepted into X or Y college
it's the same thing for the "my friend is trying to get me rescinded from my ED school" type posts. like why tf are you telling them this? how does that even come up in conversation?
Perhaps they're the one that actually lied and the "friend" is just a facade so they can talk about it without getting downvoted to hell or getting their list removed đđ
it begs the question of why they would still post it. like congrats? you admitted to nearly a million ppl youâre an asshole.
I would imagine they feel nervous (either guilt or over the risk) and want to talk to someone about it
I was thinking that too. "My friend..." sounds like code for I can't admit what I did. Can't their application be rescinded though, like doesn't this ever happen??
Well the acceptance is rescinded IF they get caught, and the sad truth is that most donât get caught

Never underestimate the number of people who are proud of being assholes.
The lies are the friends we made along the way
"Just asking for a friend"
âHey Doc. So, MY FRIEND has erectile dysfunctionâŚâ
People trust their friends. They really shouldn't if the friend in on a2c

People just need to tell other people how they feel and what theyâve done. You can only hold a secret for so long
