Today, I was rejected from the University of Washington. My dad has been a professor there for 30 years, and is on the board of admissions. FML

That must be equally embarrassing for him.

Obviously you assumed you could just get in because your daddy works there and probably didn't try to do well in high school. Your loss.

Your daddy can only get you so far through life. Should have kept your grades up so could get into college on your own merit.

............so?? my dad works at a museum. does that mean I should be able to get into Harvard?

That's probably why, though... They don't want to show favoritism by admitting the children of people who are on the admitting board.

Just because you're dad's on the Board doesn't mean you have a better chance than anyone else.

That doesn't mean u will get in, if u aren't good enough, u aren't good enough

There are better opportunities out there bro

Why does that matte? Sounds like you assumed that you'd get in because your dad is on the B.O.A. In that case, YDI.

Just because your dad lets people in doesn't mean your an exception.
