Super-Freshman Brags She Applied to 18 Schools, Turned Down by One; Gods of Douchebaggery Strike Again

Super-Freshman Brags She Applied to 18 Schools, Turned Down by One; Gods of Douchebaggery Strike Again
So, fellow Harvardian, we know you applied to Yale, but did you also apply to Cornell? How about Brown? Duke? Vassar? Amherst? Swarthmore? Washington U.? Washington and Lee? Did you apply to Wake Forest or George Washington? Emory, Valparaiso, American, St. Louis? Seton Hall, or Grinnell -- have you even heard of Grinnell?

Neither have I. But one Harvard freshman has. Hell, she even humored herself and applied -- on top of applying to the other 17 schools.

But Jill Meriweather '11 eventually chose Harvard over the rest (of course), claiming she only really applied to so many schools because she couldn't make up her mind. She didn't have the foresight to see that she would've come to Harvard regardless (like the rest of us), but here's hoping she at least had the foresight to copy/paste those application essays.

Meriweather's mother was apparently so distressed by her daughter's success that after crying over money wasted on application fees, she says she scolded God. “She was supposed to be rejected a little,” she told reporters.

An indecisive, self-satisfied overachiever with a mother who wants to see her fail? Welcome to Harvard, Meriweather; I think you'll fit right in.
