So sad:(
I’m sure your entitlement came through in your essays and that doesn’t read well. Hot take, @blondeboynj, you’re not Bill Clinton (a Rhodes Scholar).
Just because mediocre white guys have gotten an advantage throughout history by their birth alone, doesn’t mean that it’s just or remotely ethical. There is no moral reason for you to gain an advantage. Yes, it has gotten harder for white men to get into elite colleges, but not because they’re discriminated against; the system has simply become juster and more inclusive.
No one has taken “your spot” at elite institutions; in fact, many mediocre white guys have taken other, more qualified people’s respective “spots” for centuries.
I know I’m being harsh, and I realize that your situation is difficult especially when you’ve been working hard in school for so long, but this no way to express that. As pissed off as I am, I still wish you the best and hope you can consider your words and actions. Try to learn from your experience to be a better person and student; don’t give up.
