Teen gets into Stanford after writing ‘#BlackLivesMatter’ 100 times on app

[Coach is Back!]

You haven't proven ANYTHING.

EVER.

You're just continuously oblivious to your own stupidity, or maybe it's just willful ignorance.

I'm not the one who is so insecure in their own abilities that I have to belittle an 18 year old's accomplishments. That would be you.

You need to look into the mirror for insecurity. I've never seen an over 40 year old who was secure with themselves complain about other people and their lives more than you.

That is textbook insecurity right there.

Notice how only one of us had to resort to vulgarity.  

Feel free to point out where I belittled his accomplishments. I was ridiculing the University for accepting that nonsense as an essay. As a matter of fact, I don't think I said anything negative about the kid. (no, I'm not going back and re-reading this thread) I take that back. I did say he would come out dumber than when he went in. I should have said naive.

Acting like he didn't deserve to get into the school because of his essay is absolutely belittling what he accomplished to get in.

Bullshit, see it as you want. It's ridiculing the school and what they deem as a requirement for admission. Tired of repeating myself. Move on.

Agreed. Coach talks about how he hates lazy people. For 18, this kid is highly accomplished, yet Coach still has an issue with this kid, who has accomplished more than most people. You can't win with coach unless you're a republican who believes in the "bible." It's best to just end the conversation.

It's actually quite sad that Coach is belittling this kid because he's not White and Christian and holds different values than him.

I think it's about time I left this thread.

[TuHolmes]

I think it's about time I left this thread.

Good choice. I will bow out as well.

"Ahmed interned for former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election and attended a White House dinner during the Obama administration, where he was acknowledged by the president for his activism".

Good idea for you two to bow out

"After completing his Stanford application, high school senior Ziad Ahmed realized an important component was missing amid a flurry of standardized test scores and extracurricular activities: his voice and passion.

That's when Ahmed took a gamble. In response to a question asking "What matters to you, and why?" the teen wrote "#BlackLivesMatter" exactly 100 times.

Last Friday, Ahmed received an acceptance letter from the California school and tweeted a photo that quickly went viral. The question was part of a larger application that delved into his leadership roles and included a number of prompts.

Ahmed, who was also accepted to Yale and Princeton University, has until May 1 to choose a school.

so that answer he gave was no doubt a very small part of what is obviously a pretty rigorous application. if you read some of other stuff this kid has written he is obviously a very bright kid. no doubt will have exceptional grades also.

"oh but if he was white they wouldn't let him in"  ....some people just love to have the "persecution complex"

[SuperTed]

If Ziad Ahmed cares so deeply about social justice, then hopefully he will also raise awareness and campaign for the rights of non-Sunni Muslims living in his native Bangladesh. Somehow, I doubt he will though.

why should he?. perhaps he's decided to concentrate on issues closer to his home.
anyway regardless what you think of him or his politics if the OP had bothered with even the most cursory cross reference he wouldn't have posted this drivel. as it's pretty clear this kid is exceptional for his age.

from further down the article the OP got this from.

"Ahmed being a ‘Black Lives Matter’ activist is another example of Islam injecting itself into radical leftist groups in order to claim that their civil rights are being trampled on if we reject Sharia law."

who takes anything from sites spouting this kind of crap? both of the kid's parents went to stanford, he himself is a top student who has the pick of the most prestigious colleges.

yet they've got him marked down as a radical muslim campaigning for sharia law!! LOL only an idiot would post anything from that site.

Well, Ziad calls Linda Sarsour an "inspiration" and she is an advocate for Sharia. He obviously isn't helping himself by associating himself with such figures.

[Coach is Back!]

Thanks for the update clarification info.
The initial post makes it sound like he wrote BLM 100x and they used that (alone)to admit him.

Funny, there are other similar articles with a similar headline. If that wasn't a main focus then why use that particular headline? Clickbait?

Probably right if you're talking in terms of idiotic sites as the one inked in the op. But considering he has offers from 3 of the top us universities, in the real world he's probably doing OK.

no one cares about details or facts here

Coach's gut told him what really happened and those are now "the facts" in his pumpkin sized skull

This x2
He likely planning on blowing himself up at some point.
