I've gotten 39 REJECTION from credit card companies.....

morgfair Bravo to this young lady

RDDDSands Glad to see someone rewarded for merits and not pretending to row or play soccer or having a YouTube site!

RDDDSands Can she row?

Congratulations!

Don’t you usually apply to 5-6 and choose one?

Yawn 😴😴

Good for her. That's what real success looks like.

andersonatlarge Can you just congratulate her without dirtying her achievement with someone else’s mess.

I was a ward of the state, both parents committed suicide, was homeless, worked my way through school for 6 years, got 2 degrees and took on the student loans and am proud of myself. If you want to go to college stop making excuses

Keep up the great work, for this is how it's done. Hope ppl can learn from great examples.

I think you're missing the point...is she getting accepted on a phony athletic recruitment or a normal acceptance? Most decisions involve a 'committee' rather than 'bribes.'

People of color always have to work harder.

What's her SAT score?

Because that is how it should be done

Good for her, but there is literally no point of applying to 39 schools other than getting to write op-ed’s like this.

EricaLG Does she really like writing application essays?

Without affirmative action ? that helps people cut in line and discriminate against those with higher sat score based on race? Or all on her own? Or blind scores and blind acceptance. Get someone out of college then just reverse score them in the exact same way before hire

Impossible. Racism stopped her. FakeNews

Good job!!!

EricaLG Why is she applying to 39 schools?

Grit and determination. So cool to see!!

I am sure she could do just fine without the AA, let’s get rid of it!

How can people afford to apply to so many schools? When m/son was applying the average application fee was $200., has that changed? The cost w/b $7800. to apply to 39 colleges. Our school counselor d/n recommend that strategy. Son graduated from Vanderbilt, no help getting in.

You go girl!😍

So what? So did 99.99999%

merit still has a place in the 'pay-to-play' commercial reality.

Going to make for a great movie

You can bet she won’t be picking a school for the football experience and partying

Female minority, next

39 apps at $100 a pop thow

you'd need 500k just to afford 39 applications

Yay. You feel the need to praise someone for doing something the correct way? That is a large part of the problems we have today. The expectation of praise, trophies, & ribbons for doing something the correct way. Sad.

Open a pizza store you will make more

In case we weren't clear on the 'should have gone to more deserving students' lesson.

You go Jordan!!! 👍

Congratulations. Wishing her all the best.

If you're applying to 39 colleges you probably have not narrowed your choices realistically. Also doing it legally is not to be commended. What was it Chris Rock said about dudes bragging about things you are supposed to do?

Wow I applied to 13 schools at the time, and that was bad enough. Though I did work with a college adviser and take all the test prep, too.

Ok congrats but why apply to so many colleges? Clearly you now have too many choices 😂

Why is college considered a status symbol? That's a huge part of the problem

Doesn't it cost money to even apply to college? If so, this must have set her back a bundle.
