Everyone has a different experience applying to colleges.
Some take the traditional route by working hard in high school, studying for standardized tests, and writing a thoughtful essay, while others leave their educational fate in the hands of their parents.
After news of a college admissions scandal broke on Tuesday, many people were compelled to reminisce about the “old-fashioned ways” they got into college.
The scandal involved dozens of parents — including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Louglin, who reportedly shelled out a lot of money to ensure their students were accepted to colleges. But that’s not how people got into college in the good old days.
In response to the scandal, delightful “I got into college the old-fashioned way” memes were born.
Now, Twitter users are revealing the many ways in which they got accepted to universities — from embracing a whole lot of financial debt and writing a kick-ass essay, to settling for not-so-great schools and having sex with the SAT test itself.
