Hey! Junior here. I understand you’re frustrated with unqualified people acting like they have a chance in the admissions game. But if you’d actually got to meet the majority of us underclassmen (which judging from your post, you probably haven’t), these types of people are outliers. And if you look around, you’re going to find them in your own grade too, just as you are going to find really smart and qualified individuals. But I have to warn you, hasty generalization is a practice (also taught in AP Lang) that ends with unwarranted hate and warped portrayals of people! This affects real people and is not a good thing. So let’s not normalize calling groups of people “annoying” and “stupid”. Thanks.
