This. She probably will never know, because when fails to be admitted to UC or somehow gets admitted and fails her first quarter/semester/trimester (whichever UC uses) she will blame it on someone else.

Because books.

Oh, jesus, Kat. That's disgusting. Entitlement like that turns my stomach.

Kat,

that is so bad. How big of a dipshit is she to cheat on an SAT? Those Long Island kids did that last year and they were in deep shit.

This is the first time I've actually sat down to write about all of this. Partly because I've been living it and just trying to exist above the fray.

One of the kids started in January. He had dropped out of school for 2ish years. When he walked into AP, I was wary. I asked him the last three books he had read and we had a great discussion about Cormac McCarthy's The Road. He's a wonderful, bright person with a mind designed for college. He wasn't going to graduate because of his crazy transcript, but we came up with an independent study for him and he read 5 books in a month (The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Botany of Desire, Thinking Fast and Slow, Hope in the Unseen and Outliers -- all nonfiction for a nonfiction course) and we had great exchanges via a composition book on what he read.

I'm so excited that he's graduating.

le nubian, the best?

AMAZING that they did all of that. But I guess the CB only has one thing to sell and that's the validity of their test scores.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So they ran an analysis on everyone around her and found a kid with a matching book and score.

Wait, how does that even work? Isn't the SAT paranoid about cheating?

I have an hour-and-a-half teleconference coming up. I'm going to need some entertaining.

Kat - I'd go because it is important to the others who requested you. She is a con and she will try and con for the rest of her life. shame on everyone who passed her along the way.

Because I am petty I would be tempted to say something to her when on stage with her.
