This “journalist” is completely clueless. She claims that he is taking spots from other children. Doesn’t she realize that as soon as he refuses the offer, they can then offer it to the next student? Ridiculous. She put a dark mark on what is a tremendous accomplishment.

All 20 of the spots are his. He earned them. If others wanted them, they should have studied harder, volunteered more, been more active In extracurriculars, &wrote a better essay. This way, 19 kids will get spots they didn’t fully earn. Good for them. They got lucky.

So proud of Michael and the incredible work @EMERGEfellows does to help these incredibly talented students attend top schools. If you’re not supporting @EMERGEfellows you should be.

It was a legitament observation..."It's a little ridiculous that this kid applied to 20 taking away a spot and basically waitlisting another kid," Fraser said on the show. It does show lack of consideration for other people.

“Legitament” huh?


my guess is you didn’t get into a single college.... -
If finding a spelling mistake is your comeback that must mean the rest of my tweet must be correct since you have nothing else to say. If you took the effort to look at my profile you'll see that I went to college. So you see, you're not perfect either.

It’s twitter boss. If you’re going to drag a kid for applying to a lot of schools, that he had to pay application fees and write multiple essays for, you best not come with a “legitamate” error in your illegitimate attack. Or you will get dragged.
-
The legitimacy of my claim is equal to that of yours. He was accepted a full ride to 20 universities. Him be worthy of a full ride, should have not wasted his time and only applied to three or four colleges. Doing what he did, IMHO, is the only stupid thing he has done.

So true. Part of growing up is learning that the world isn’t fair and people will always criticize and judge, especially when you make yourself known through media. Kids today need to learn to deal with it and move on. It’s part of life. No one has to do anything you want.

A kid of this caliber ought to know what he wants by now or long time ago. Still debating between 4? All the best.

He should be applauded and his story should be used to inspire other young poor kids, not denigrated or ridiculed for it!!
