i would agree that about 95% of that is pure envy. Another 2% is people writing because they realize the widely available market for this kind of stuff… consider that every year harvard turns down about 20k apps… in 20yrs (lets assume an average of 15k every year) that’s 300,000apps. That’s a lot of bitter people —> a lot of people who are very willing to read this kinda stuff.

But, having said that, I would also venture a guess that a lot of it is also very founded… though the motivation for its initial writing is somewhat questionable, i agree.
