I’m sure loads of you would have heard of that Indian boy who took a year break and got into top varsities except Harvard.
But then I wondered- is that fair? I mean, I get that he did a bunch of amazing stuff and helped society, but won’t colleges notice the fact that he had an entire year extra to do these? I mean, loads of other students do as much as he did, during their 4 years of high school. So why was he favored so much?
You also have the option to take a year and “get into top varsities”, so no, it is not unfair.
What Indian boy?
