Can you even imagine going to college just to party?? Like, im over here barely being able to afford college and they are paying half a million dollars JUST to party!?!?! It's ridiculous.
Right? I'm paying out of pocket for community college and working my butt off to save and plan for each semester. I don't feel cheated(becuase I never applied to USC as an applicant or sports recruit), but its the nature of the scandal. Why couldn't you just donate a building and sponsor a poor kid like every other wealthy family that bribes their way into elite schools. Also, considering the fact OJ knew the Caruso guy and that he was on USC board of trustees, I'm sure she could've gained admission without taking a crew kid's spot. Its one thing to cheat the system, but something else entirely to do what they did.
University is hard!! Between papers, tests, readings, and assignments I barely have time to eat!! Forget about partying. All that combined with my part time job leaves me with almost no free time. Meanwhile, this girl is partying in yachts and vlogging. Smh
Maybe it's a blessing you didn't get in. Who wants to go to a school like this where you can buy your degree, now that it's been exposed. These Universities "prestige" image has downgraded now. Good luck to you and your future.
Emma Thank you for your wisdom and courage. Wishing you all the success on your journey Check out Canada's campuses, you'd be an asset and there are no scandals here, just friendly people of all walks of life and lots of Tim Hortons coffee to go enjoy All the best
exactly, i can never look at USC the same again, it seems like a cheap way to get a university degree like working hard doesnt matter as long as you have money
Now its been exposed?? This shit has been going on for years Everyone knew 😂 its just now, everyone is fully aware of the problem just like we were years ago but guess what nothing changed and it will probably stay that way
She never rowed in her life... She gets accepted to row... then acts like she didn't know??? Makes no sense to me. How can you not get suspicious if that happens.
@@a1.w6 the operative word here is "acts." it's all a big act. aunt becky has probably spent almost as much money on PR people as she has on lawyers in the last couple months. it's not about truth to these people, it's about perception. watch how cleverly they will deceive the public in order to try to save Olivia Jade's image, and, ultimately, ability to be able to earn without having to work or learn. they think they are better than me and you. that's not an opinion- it's a fact. but enough of them, what about the countless other schools and persons that DIDN'T get caught!?
axfurY oh she definitely knew. she even posed for “rowing” photos like come on. then aunt becky pulled some strings here and there and the coaches got paid. most of the kids in the scandal knew. how can you not know when you’re SAT scores were literaly fixed or you faked being on a sports team. also some of the kids even bragged lol. that one girl from yale was boasting to her classmates about her parents paying millions for her to get into yale. like girlll.
LIT see it’s statements like that. If anyone says something like that, you immediately know something sketchy went on with their application. And also, no one with a proper IQ would ever boast about something like that, which is something these institutions test.
i’ve been waiting for you to talk about this scandal because i remember watching your college reveal last year and how sad and disappointed you were when you didn’t get into USC
Was really shocked so many people who risked so much for breaking the law ..they already were privileged ,, being rich !! Glad u got in a school where u r happy.
So NOW we know someone who actually did the right thing to get into USC. Did everything right and got snubbed from your dream school. Hopefully you are over the terrible experience and able to MOVE on! Hopefully doing well NOW, and 100% HONEST!!!
Sadly the Wealthy have been buying their kids way into college for generations. Usually the schools accepted very large donations, had entire wings built, etc.. the difference is the legality of it. I personally think all ways shouldn't be legal. Perhaps the courts could have the parents involved set up a scholarship trustfund for kids who like you worked hard to get there.
As a teacher for nine years, I have seen many students try to get into their college of their choice. All I can say is that no matter which college you go to, is who you become in the end that matters. Keep working hard and have that work ethic because that is what truly defines you no matter which college you attend. That is something even money can’t buy.
Except you're wrong and not only can money buy it, it still is buyng it. Integrity has a price and it could be poverty for many people. I couldn't even work for Starbucks the system disgusts me so much. Very few people at the top made it via integrity.
@@FeatheryBird As a former teacher that quit after 8 years, I agree with you. The game is rigged and corruption is far too thick. This is just me stating my truth from my experience. Integrity is missing from far too many souls and institutions.
@@FeatheryBird I do believe, however, that by exposing the corruption we will create the opportunity to make essential changes moving forward. It won't change unless we will it to be different. Change requires intent, desire and appropriate action/effort. We got this ;)
@@FeatheryBird Money cannot buy integrity. People will keep buying their way into things, but it doesn't mean being honest and hardworking won't get you anywhere. Are you going to give up and live on the streets because you think only rich will go to college and get jobs?
@Veronica Guvel you make such a valid point... people really are unaware how selective these schools are and that 90% of rejects wouldn't have gotten in at all. They're acting like anyone who ever applied has been wronged when in reality these elite schools have super high rejection rates as it is.
Veronica Guvel gretchen explained that only 15 or so people are accepted as recruits for rowing even if you don’t necessarily have the grades. There were two girls who did get rejected from rowing at USC. I don’t think the people denied necessarily need to be upset as much as the rowing or other athletes that tried getting recruited and didnt get the spot
@@angelaweston8274 That's true, but undoubtedly many of the 90% who were rejected were still more qualified to be at USC than Loughlin's daughters (and God knows how many other kids whose parents bribed their way). So they should be upset, too. Imagine working your ass off and applying honestly, and getting rejected, and some rich liar gets in. You'd have every right to be pissed.
@@kattykleo8579 Okay so 2 points - the college admin system is extremely subjective and has little concrete standards. The standards of Ivy Leagues are pretty similar yet people get into Harvard but get rejected from Yale (I've seen it in person), does that mean the person with a perfect GPA, SAT score and the perfect application wasn't good enough for Yale? No it's extremely subjective and based on an admin officer's choice. Schools let people in who don't have the credentials for the school - like bad students getting into Harvard or Duke for a sport (bball), the school has an agenda like sports titles, ticket sales etc. IMO that is extremely unfair academically bc they get a super elite degree without being qualified and actual smart kids lose spots for dumb athletes. Then there is the thing about affirmative action (I can see the point for a fair chance but skin color shouldn't be the basis, it should be for low income in general). People who don't match the rest of the applicants are getting in to reach "quotas" for the reputation of the school rather than their merit. Even "donating a building" dumb kids, they're not there on merit and it's wrong but it's legal. All of those facts combined tell me that there's no real way to prove that you were wrongly rejected/ cheated bc it comes down to a person saying Yes or No. On OJ - she was a grad of Marymount High (personal experience with a student, it's as tough/ tougher than college) and her "extra curriculars" = 2m follower youtube channel, acting, modelling, brand deals, etc do hold a lot of weight on their own, so considering those 2 things I think she can definitely be put in another category from normal applicants. Celebs even Malala (meh grades, but nobel prize) got into oxford, James Franco etc etc are given special consideration for their work that normal students don't get. I think what OJ did was awful and unlike donor kids (donations benefit all students), their scam only benefitted her/ the bribed guy. Someone who didn't care about college and literally scammed on the basis of a fake sport doesn't deserve to be there. However considering everything I said above I have no reason to think anyone elses chances were hurt by this because, being subjective and unfair with all the different BS, there's no guarantee that anyone was "cheated" out of a spot. If it were all grades and there was a concrete system there would definitely be a case but college admin is the basically a lottery so there's no way to prove that i or any other applicant have been affected by their choice. On top of that, I think people suing are only interested in money and are not genuine in their cause bc then every applicant ever in history would deserve compensation. Why should a handful of randoms get millions when others get nothing and to me, how are they entitled to that reward at all?? on top of that - trying to take money from a school's fund used for student causes like buildings, research funding, school improvement expenses for yourself is totally disgusting to me. I see that behaviour as irrational and morally corrupt and selfish. Also how can you complain that OJ is entitled and undeserving of what she got yet the lawsuit people think they deserve MILLIONS of money they did not earn - is that entitlement too?
It wasn’t the colleges it was individuals. That’s the scandal. The millions were going into a few people’s pockets. If they were going towards a new library or football field no one would have a problem with it. In fact those type of donations happen every year.
I think it qas the coaches and other staff that took bribes and told the administration they were a great candidate. I'm not 100% sure if an admin took a bribe, I think 1 did.
As a current high school senior who applied to a lot of the colleges involved in the scandal (I'm still waiting on decisions), it is really disheartening to see how much these college coaches and administrators value money above integrity and hard work. I think you really addressed the situation well, and you put a lot of my frustration into words.
Nicole Marie, I really feel so badly for you kids who are all working so hard and applying right now to schools/waiting for the letters and seeing all this corruption. Breaks my heart. It’s such a very hard lesson so very early in your working life. We aww it more as we get older in our work lives. As you get more established in your career throughout life - you be the integrity, emulate integrity - that is one thing we can always do. It’s very powerful. Don’t underestimate the power of integrity. Affect change from that place. That has a much more powerful, long term impacts - in terms of having both happiness and success and in uplifting all around you. Corruption always fails long term. Integrity wins long term.
TERRIKA JOHNSON RESPONDING. READING YOUR COMMENT GOOD WISHES ON YOU GETTING INTO ONE OF THE SCHOOLS YOU APPLIED FOR. I'M SOOO DISAPPOINTED ON WHAT HAPPENED. BUT HAPPY THAT THE TRUTH CAME OUT.
The saddest thing about the scandal is the lack of confidence that these parents hold for their children. By paying off admission basically tells you child "you can't do this on your own"
Some folks think the $500 billion lawsuit involves just one plantiff. They are stupid. I hope you and half the students in California join in on the class action lawsuit
that's a horrible thing to encourage, these schools have like 4-9% acceptance rate out of all applicants, they get hundreds of thousands of applications and reject those who don't make the cut... there is something called a waitlist for students who are actually being considered for those spots. Just applying to USC doesn't mean you're entitled to anything, I hate all of you trying to talk about morals when you're supporting money hungry clowns who jumped at the first opportunity to benefit themselves instead of doing something real about the issue. Most people are suing these schools... if they have to pay millions of dollars to people for no GOOD reason that is money being taken away from projects and investments and scholarships for STUDENTS. Less scholarships and aid for those in need, you think thats reasonable?
@@defdef911 Are you fucking serious? You think people who got rejected from a school ( 90% who are just joining for money regardless of the stats of 4-9% acceptance out of hundreds of thousands of applications) should get the equivalent of the US ANNUAL MILITARY BUDGET? I'm sorry but I have no respect for anyone who is talking about morals and hard work and how Olivia Jade is entitled but thinks that they are entitled to millions of dollars of a university's money or money a person has lawfully earned for bc they were rejected from a school? I'm sickened by these lawsuit-happy folks just as much as the cheaters. You are "entitled" to money that you earn, that's all you're entitled to in life.
It’s obvious once you get it you will graduate if you show up. I’m sure they pay to have their work done or cheat to get by. I assume that most of the athletes that graduate know how to get the grades.
I went to USC for a year of grad school... ...Regardless how you felt at the time of your rejection, and how you feel now... ...You dodged a bullet. It’s the “University of Spoiled Children” with very few exceptions. They charge a lot of tuition money for an education quality you could get at a Cal State for 1/5th the price. You’re really just paying for the name or connections, for whatever that may be worth. Also if you do your research on the main college or the Keck School of Medicine on the USC Health Sciences Campus, you will find USC has a pretty hefty number of scandals, corrupt staff, and questionable spending habits over the past 40 years. Don’t ever beat yourself up about it. Trust me.
MrFuggleGuggle i’m sorry to say, USC master programs are pretty bad compared to PhD and undergrad. No master student gets a full picture of USC. It is well known that undergrad and PhD are the hardest to get into whereas master programs are very easy to get into and are therefore packed with unqualified ppl. Your 1 year master experience speaks for nothing, unfortunately.
slee I mean, you’re the ones still ‘dying’ to pay $50,000 a year toward a worthless degree (but a friendship with Rebecca and Lance Fattycat) for them to build a million dollar facility with the sole goal of protecting their silly Tommy Trojan statue from UCLA vandalism. I’m over that phase and scam. Academia is overrated, and overpriced. If education and earning the degree is what’s really important to you, that does not need to be expensive. If tailgating, partying, networking, and prestige is what you really desire - I hope you got deep pockets or rich parents!...
slee That’s your problem right there. Not everyone can nor desires to be a hedge fund manager. Even if your mommy and daddy thought otherwise when they got you the job, Jessica Schlomo.
slee I mean, I’m self made working in software making six figures testing and writing software code...none of which requires a college degree, nor has anything to do with the degree I earned more than a decade ago for my Bachelors. But what do I know, a lowly fool who actually works for a living and never needed their parents or friends/relatives to get where I am today, or where I will be 10 years from now...? But since you and your upbringing seem to value elitism and nepotism over actual merit, skill, and ability to create and engineer the future - perhaps overpriced schooling is a better fit for people in your circles. Lord knows you probably wouldn’t survive without it. You’re the perfect sheep to market it to.
Bruh what's you're major this sounds like some major BS. I've been to 4 Universities in my life for undergrad and the quality of a csu doesn't even compare to usc. Best experience of my life I'm currently getting a PhD here and I want to teach here too
I love this video. USC has been my dream school since I was 12. I for sure understood that it was competitive to get into, but I applied to the masters program and did my undergrad at a different college. All throughout my college years, I’d do my best to maintain a high GPA, I’d try to get involved in clubs and activities, and I was even on the basketball team for a bit. I’ve worked on Say Yes To The Dress, produced/directed/wrote my first short film, recently completed my first screenplay, had a total of 5 internships, and I have a 3.9 GPA. Yet, I also got rejected a few days ago from USC. It’s not fair that people can pay to get in, and meanwhile, people like you and I who work so hard for years don’t even stand a chance at getting accepted. It definitely sucks
Same here, I want them mad about this, perhaps scan lead to an education revolution on the countries most crushing financial situation ever. These kids take on huge debt they can never repay or when they do they have 20 years at best to save to retire??? but these creatures with tons of cash pay and take up slots? Yes...the rich DO have a reason to worry about the lower class. Why a few 1%ers have openly commented they fear what will happen when "they realize what we are doing to them."
@Male genital health videos channel - over18 only don't they deserve it? They took two slots from two other kids. They were willing to take those dreams away from kids who worked so hard to get in just so their spoiled children can once again get something they don't deserve.
@Male genital health videos channel - over18 only She dropped out, and it's good that she made the decision not to go back to USC, the one she 'cheated' her way towards. Goodbye, partying, hello reality. Looks like mom and dad did way too good of a job spoiling you and your own sister. Money can't buy you everything and neither can wealth, or status.
This is literally the purest video. this must be so disheartening, but you are so strong. You will be so successful because you worked for what you want. Just like you said you will end up exactly where you are supposed to be !! Love you xx
USC was my dream school I got a 1310 on the SAT and had a 4.456 GPA. Didn't get in. Saw this whole situation and wanted to cry. So many of us worked very, very hard to attend. But, I am so impressed by this young lady's ability to be composed and empathetic in this heinous situation. And sometimes these things can be a blessing, as I'm now slated to attend Loyola Marymount University in the fall, and I'm super excited! I know that this eloquent, well spoken, intelligent and well put together gal has plenty of options to choose from.
Olivia Jade makes me feel so angry. So disheartened. I'm really sorry about how you didn't get in, but just remember that whatever happens, is for the best.
A video like this should be shown to those terrible parents involved in the case. A young, bright-eyed, hard working kid crushed by their actions. Glad you made a video and spoke up.
As a high school counselor, I want to thank you for this video. The words that ring so true: what makes anyone think that they will succeed? I have a feeling that you will be a success in anything you do, and I am so very impressed with your incredible work ethic. Please remember that the most important name on a diploma is YOURS, not the location of the "elite" school. Good luck!
"Please remember that the most important name on a diploma is YOURS, not the location of the "elite" school" wow I really appreciate you saying this, thanks from a 4th year college student
I remember how excited you were in hopes to get to USC. It really is saddening from Lory to teach her kids that everything is handed to them in a gold platter. I grew up in a family where we have to work to get the things we want. I remember leaving to college and my parents giving me $100 and telling me that’s all they can provide me with. I’m glad you were able to speak out your feelings. I was also rejected from my dream college and I also cried for months. But I’m happy to be where I’m at right now. You are amazing Emma 🧡
I’m sorry my for you. You worked so hard and was rejected but she got in from a bribe. It’s not fair but now her family and the school leaders got what they deserved. Public humiliation.
@@leighmassey6356 agreed a blessing in disguised, but its still infuriating that you applied to the same school and in the same year and did everything right and still not get in. While this scandal broke and rethinking why you didn't get in.
Huge respects for you Emma! As a high-school senior I think I can say that I'm in your shoes. I'm really inspired by how dedicated you are towards your goals by doing everything in your power. But more importantly is how calm you are when talking about such a frustrating and relatable issue. I'm so glad that you didn't join the backlash!! This is incredible!!
This video couldn't have explained it better. I'm from Washington DC, and I applied to USC during my senior year 2016-2017 school year. Not getting in not only disappointed me, it made me frustrated on how the rich and elite powerful kids have a leverage over prestigious schools than average Joes like you and me. Nonetheless, I picked myself up after having the feeling of being punched in the stomach ( USC was my dream school as well, I felt like it was my destiny to go there ). While I am happy with my current school, I still wish I could have gone to USC from my freshman year. Once I'm done with undergrad, I will be applying to USC's Keck school of medicine. So there's still hope to fulfill my dream. If not, I will just accept the way things are and make the best of whatever medical school I get into. The passion I have for USC is not like anyone else's. In high school, I would dream and breathe of being in USC. To this day, I wish I was at USC. But I wish I would be there from the beginning, not midway to the end. No point in transferring just to get half the package. Good luck wherever you are at.
gameexpert2011 good for you! I got rejected the same year! And just got accepted to USC as a transfer. I was so devastated, but I hope people know that there is always a chance!
I remember being so shocked that you didn’t get into USC. I know it’s a really competitive school but you seem like such a hard worker and that you completely earned that opportunity all on your own. My best friend applied and didn’t get in (ironically enough she is a rower of crew) but although she was bummed she is still ended up going to Yale! Honesty and integrity always out weigh money, lies, and dishonesty. Karma is always out to get this wrong individuals! I hope you have a successful college career!!! :))
exactly, they deserve everything thats coming to them as punishment they should start at community college while working an average job (since Olivia jade lost all her sponsorships) then apply *again* and see if she still gets in that way she knowns what real hard work and being an *influencer* is
@@varshachooranolickal exactly, I know it sounds cliche but its true I had to find out the hard way my self first four years of CC want good grades gonna have to put in the work. When you apply yourself amazing things happen in your life. There's no shortcuts to success.
As a USC alum (c/o 2013) AND a former USC admission officer (my first job after graduation!), I know firsthand how emotionally draining the college admission process can be. During my time in the office of admission, it was a blessing and a curse to have such an excess of incredibly qualified and special applicants to consider as potential future Trojans. You are right to be proud of your hard work. Your words are wise beyond your years. And USC would have been lucky to have you! Happy to hear you are happy where you are, but know that transferring (while also quite a competitive process) is a great opportunity for a second shot. Fight On!
You are a very thoughtful, grounded young woman. You are right that integrity matters - even more so than the outcomes themselves. Integrity leads to not only success but also to long term happiness. Never forget these principles you speak of now or allow the corruption out there to sway your brightness and positivity. Run for office one day. We need people like you in leadership roles in this country.
I feel you so hard girl :( I wanted to go to USC so badly and it was my dream school all throughout high school and hearing this story about Olivia Jade makes me so disheartened in the system... just goes to show that the US college system has so much more to improve on.
You handled this really really well. I agree with everything that was said, and as someone who is a high school senior and worked my butt off all year, it makes me angry that people like Olivia got in without doing any work
as someone who got into usc as a senior in the graduating class of 2021, it’s sometimes hard to announce this achievement without someone (specifically family) mentioning this scandal in a way that sort of shames this accomplishment. i do have no doubts that similar cases like this one are still going on unnoticed
I think you handled the situation with much grace and maturity. Thank you for sharing how you're feeling about the whole situation! And I'm glad that you're loving where you are 💕
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I know how it feels. The same thing happened with my son and NYU. He had top grades, incredible test scores, enough AP credits to skip his first year. All he ever dreamed of was going to NYU. During the school visit we met with one of the admissions staff. They basically told him unless he had a famous last name, he didn’t have much chance. He still tried but didn’t get in. He was devastated.
THANK YOU for talking about this !! it's so refreshing to hear young youtubers being open about such a controversial topic but you covered this with grace. love your videos btw 💛
I sat on review boards where professors talk smack about kids who did their own applications, but had grammar errors! Those kids were passed over for the perfect application. Go figure!
I want my daughter to be like her when I have one! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
Girl, I feel you. I was waitlisted from SC( heart was broken), applied again as a transfer student after I went to a state school( which oddly enough because of the people I met there I ended up loving. had great friends), then got in SC. I entered as a sophomore( i'm grateful I got in, but i would have rather started as a normal freshman you know. they had special programs for freshman during welcome week and stuff. its just a bit different for a freshman). But, the fact is with these schools this type of thing happens ALL the time, which is sucky. People "donate" to the school all the time, and you CAN'T tell me that that admissions dont notice the students who apply who come from super wealthy families that donate like $200 K to SC. It's like that at most schools. I had a friend who had a great heart/ she was a moral person/ very christian.... but she was pretty dumb. Like how she graduated I had no idea, but she always mentioned how her parents donated a ton of money every year..... then i was like OHHHHH it makes sense. Another friend was from a middle class white fam, and she got a sports scholarship in running, and she HATED HATED running. All her free time was taken up by running, but she needed the scholarship so she couldn't drop out. In the end I don't believe where you go to school matters. I know people who went to Yale/Harvard/Princeton and they aren't successful yet. People make themselves successful not the school they went to. I hope they change the admission process though( where like the admission counselors won't know whos family donated to schools/ who's applicants are legacies of the school/ who's families are super rich...i feel like certain info should be withheld from the admission process), so that no one has to have their heart broken over college.
You are so right - honesty and integrity is most important. At the end of the day, you can sleep well and be at peace. Wish you all the best in college.
I'm glad you put this video out there and I hope Olivia and the others cheaters can watch and learn first hand who they impacted through their fraudulent actions.
I agree with you!! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
it sucks for those kids who worked their butts off wanting to get to the top colleges and now seeing those kids who just got in without the stress I’m currently a junior in hs hoping to get into my dream college
Now I’m a senior and I looked closely at this scandal and I felt extremely frustrated. Like some people just brushed away with this news, like “she just made a mistake, probably not even a mistake”, but I just felt enraged
Your school doesn’t define who you are, your morals & values does. Keep working hard and you’ll have everything you’ve ever dreamed of and it’ll be totally worth because you put in the time and effort.
I agree with everything you said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was shocked too because acceptance rates are pretty low at USC and someone like her didn't deserve that spot.
Never watched this channel before but it was in my recommendations, so I clicked on it. I have to say thank you for being open about how you didn’t get accepted to the University you wanted. I think so many people experience this and it can be so disheartening and can really be a blow to your confidence! Being open about it can be helpful cause when applying to multiple schools we all experience it!
People who work their ass off to get into their dream deserve to go. Not the snobby rich people who pays who knows how many thousands of dollars for their kid to go to a really good school when they don’t even do shit in their life and they depend on their parents for everything. Great video Emma, well said❤️
I guess Olivia and her family are where they are supposed to be :) Love how karma works. So sorry they robbed you of your dream. This world is so corrupt.
Thanks for showing your support of many young students working hard to get what they want. So happy that you said you are happy where you are proving you can do it without playing the part or cheating 🙏🏼💚 all the best to you young lady 🤗
Good things will come to those who work for them. I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
This was such a good, respectful and insightful response to this scandal. I have seen so many videos where people are angry or frustrated, which I totally get, but you handled this so well and it is so awesome to see you on the other side. I got rejected too from my dream college but seeing you like this is so inspiring.
Why does everyone think Olivia is the only one who did this? So many rich kids have done this so I don’t know why everyone and there mom is making a video bashing Olivia specifically. If anything, it’s the teachers fault for illegally letting them in.
Iconic Queen no. It’s all of them. The mom was the one who bribed them which was wrong. The people at the school took the bribe which was wrong. And Olivia didn’t stand up for what was right. She knew that what her mother was doing was wrong but went along with it, just because she wanted to party and get the college experience. She knows that some people who work so hard don’t get in or do get in because they work hard, but not her because she didn’t do anything deserving to get in.
Charis Davis ik, I’m saying youtubers are all making videos bashing Olivia, but others kids have done the same thing, if anything they need to bash the colleges
Kitty Love yea same I can’t handle math, but what really helped me was SAT prep classes on Tuesday’s. It was $50. It ended already for me but if there’s any sat prep classes at your school take them :)
One good thing about this scandal is that we get to see how awesome this new generation really is. I'm just so impressed with your character, integrity, and beautiful inner light. Much love and well earned continued success.
She's great! A true star. I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
it’s def such a big scandal bc of how popular the family is ESP since they got caught but this happens all the time and i don’t think it’s something that gets addressed as often as it is now. thanks for speaking out on this and giving your own opinion!
Love her! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
Well, in some industries, where you went to school is very important when you begin looking for a job. A school like USC does carry some cache and provides great networking opportunities. That said, my husband went to Beer Keg U, graduated, went out into the world with an incredible work ethic and determination and is now a multi millionaire, in addition to being an all round good person. So you are correct, people who are smart and ambitious will generally succeed no matter where they end up for college. But there is no denying that a degree from Harvard or the like is going to get your foot in the door quicker than the average Joe, even if all other things are equal.
Lol that’s literally propaganda put out by this over priced schools. The only thing that’ll help you get a job is work experience. This girl in this video is a the exact kind of fool these schools pray on. Honestly Olivia just wanting to go party is more subversive than anything this heifer will ever do...
@@nicole601 Yeah, not really. There is a saying "it's not what you know but WHO you know." Schools that have a tight networking culture can and DO get jobs for young graduates who have never worked a day in their lives. Schools that are seen as very prestigious do in fact carry some great perks, and getting a job is one of them. Why do you think people sell their souls to get into these schools? That's the real world. Does that mean graduating from Tailgate U means you can't succeed? Not at all! But that grad may have to work a bit harder to get the same result.
Emma, I never knew someone like Jesse's girlfriend from Full House would do something like this, I could imagine what the other cast members are saying about it, wow, unbelievable!!!🙄
But I thought everyone knew rich parents bribe their way into elite schools. Harvard has a Z-list for legacy admissions. Princeton's homepage evens boasts of their percentage of legacy admits! Asian students of extremely high caliber get denied to all top schools, so I don't see why people are so hung up over parents bribing their way in. Also, why would celeb parents care about their kids going to good schools? They're already celebrity kids - they don't need degrees and top schools. They'll become famous just because they have famous parents. Going to top schools and being academic is a way to succeed for regular people - but celebs are already rich and famous.
This is the definition of true girl empowerment, grace, dignity, stating the truth, owning your response to life with positivity and willingness to pursue your dreams with hard work and integrity! So proud of you Emma, what a wonderful, strong role model you are. Your parents did amazing, believe in yourself to go far in this world!
Can you even imagine going to college just to party?? Like, im over here barely being able to afford college and they are paying half a million dollars JUST to party!?!?! It's ridiculous.
Right? I'm paying out of pocket for community college and working my butt off to save and plan for each semester. I don't feel cheated(becuase I never applied to USC as an applicant or sports recruit), but its the nature of the scandal. Why couldn't you just donate a building and sponsor a poor kid like every other wealthy family that bribes their way into elite schools. Also, considering the fact OJ knew the Caruso guy and that he was on USC board of trustees, I'm sure she could've gained admission without taking a crew kid's spot. Its one thing to cheat the system, but something else entirely to do what they did.
It's tradition.
University is hard!! Between papers, tests, readings, and assignments I barely have time to eat!! Forget about partying. All that combined with my part time job leaves me with almost no free time. Meanwhile, this girl is partying in yachts and vlogging. Smh
olivia jade you want to party? go to a mcdonalds play center they have it real cheap over there
SwimDiveRepeat SwimDiveRepeat And some people don’t care about the scandal and I’m like u must not be in any AP classes
Maybe it's a blessing you didn't get in. Who wants to go to a school like this where you can buy your degree, now that it's been exposed. These Universities "prestige" image has downgraded now. Good luck to you and your future.
Emma
Thank you for your wisdom and courage.
Wishing you all the success on your journey
Check out Canada's campuses, you'd be an asset and there are no scandals here, just friendly people of all walks of life and lots of Tim Hortons coffee to go enjoy
All the best
exactly what I thought!!!
exactly, i can never look at USC the same again, it seems like a cheap way to get a university degree like working hard doesnt matter as long as you have money
It's one student out of thousands of applicants. It's still a great school
Now its been exposed??
This shit has been going on for years Everyone knew 😂 its just now, everyone is fully aware of the problem just like we were years ago but guess what nothing changed and it will probably stay that way
Aunt Becky disappointed all of us :(
KARMA hit 'Aunt Becky' as Hallmark dropped her!
R McElhaney and now Netflix !!
Yes she did.
For real 😳
Alyssa Rose Yes, she won’t be playing in Fuller house S5
She never rowed in her life... She gets accepted to row... then acts like she didn't know???
Makes no sense to me. How can you not get suspicious if that happens.
@Paige by the book she's been attending classes for quite a while. She would have known.
@@a1.w6 the operative word here is "acts." it's all a big act. aunt becky has probably spent almost as much money on PR people as she has on lawyers in the last couple months. it's not about truth to these people, it's about perception. watch how cleverly they will deceive the public in order to try to save Olivia Jade's image, and, ultimately, ability to be able to earn without having to work or learn. they think they are better than me and you. that's not an opinion- it's a fact. but enough of them, what about the countless other schools and persons that DIDN'T get caught!?
if they told me i could get into an awesome school by just posing for photos, id be a fucking model
axfurY oh she definitely knew. she even posed for “rowing” photos like come on. then aunt becky pulled some strings here and there and the coaches got paid. most of the kids in the scandal knew. how can you not know when you’re SAT scores were literaly fixed or you faked being on a sports team. also some of the kids even bragged lol. that one girl from yale was boasting to her classmates about her parents paying millions for her to get into yale. like girlll.
LIT see it’s statements like that. If anyone says something like that, you immediately know something sketchy went on with their application. And also, no one with a proper IQ would ever boast about something like that, which is something these institutions test.
i’ve been waiting for you to talk about this scandal because i remember watching your college reveal last year and how sad and disappointed you were when you didn’t get into USC
What a beautiful heart u have , u will get wonderful things in life.. beautiful on the inside as well as outside. U r such a inspiration !!.
Was really shocked so many people who risked so much for breaking the law
..they already were privileged ,, being rich !! Glad u got in a school where u r happy.
Well Olivia took ur spot smh ....not fair!!
So NOW we know someone who actually did the right thing to get into USC. Did everything right and got snubbed from your dream school. Hopefully you are over the terrible experience and able to MOVE on! Hopefully doing well NOW, and 100% HONEST!!!
Sadly the Wealthy have been buying their kids way into college for generations. Usually the schools accepted very large donations, had entire wings built, etc.. the difference is the legality of it. I personally think all ways shouldn't be legal. Perhaps the courts could have the parents involved set up a scholarship trustfund for kids who like you worked hard to get there.
She kind of looks like dove Cameron ! You’re so pretty !!
Kyra Shae yeah true
yes she really does. her voice is beautiful too.
She actually has a video where she copied Dove Cameron’s Instagram posts for a week! :)
I actually thought it was her hahaha then i check the name.
yeah she should change her name to Emma Cameron or Dove Monden
As a teacher for nine years, I have seen many students try to get into their college of their choice. All I can say is that no matter which college you go to, is who you become in the end that matters. Keep working hard and have that work ethic because that is what truly defines you no matter which college you attend. That is something even money can’t buy.
Well stated!!
Except you're wrong and not only can money buy it, it still is buyng it. Integrity has a price and it could be poverty for many people. I couldn't even work for Starbucks the system disgusts me so much. Very few people at the top made it via integrity.
@@FeatheryBird As a former teacher that quit after 8 years, I agree with you. The game is rigged and corruption is far too thick. This is just me stating my truth from my experience. Integrity is missing from far too many souls and institutions.
@@FeatheryBird I do believe, however, that by exposing the corruption we will create the opportunity to make essential changes moving forward. It won't change unless we will it to be different. Change requires intent, desire and appropriate action/effort. We got this ;)
@@FeatheryBird Money cannot buy integrity. People will keep buying their way into things, but it doesn't mean being honest and hardworking won't get you anywhere. Are you going to give up and live on the streets because you think only rich will go to college and get jobs?
I bet Lori’s now thinking how to bribe Shane Dawson to make series about her.
Omg that would be such a juicy documentary!! It would break the internet haha
uuuh true.
She has an opened criminal investigation not a smart idea
Sara St legit j wouldn’t be surprised 😂
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! PROBABLY!!
Imagine being the girl who didn't get a scholarship because someone bought and stole your spot
@Veronica Guvel you make such a valid point... people really are unaware how selective these schools are and that 90% of rejects wouldn't have gotten in at all. They're acting like anyone who ever applied has been wronged when in reality these elite schools have super high rejection rates as it is.
Here's what I would do.
Step 1: Find out who stole my spot
Step 2: Find out where they live
Step 3: Murder them
Step 4: Get my shit back :)
Veronica Guvel gretchen explained that only 15 or so people are accepted as recruits for rowing even if you don’t necessarily have the grades. There were two girls who did get rejected from rowing at USC. I don’t think the people denied necessarily need to be upset as much as the rowing or other athletes that tried getting recruited and didnt get the spot
@@angelaweston8274 That's true, but undoubtedly many of the 90% who were rejected were still more qualified to be at USC than Loughlin's daughters (and God knows how many other kids whose parents bribed their way). So they should be upset, too. Imagine working your ass off and applying honestly, and getting rejected, and some rich liar gets in. You'd have every right to be pissed.
@@kattykleo8579 Okay so 2 points - the college admin system is extremely subjective and has little concrete standards. The standards of Ivy Leagues are pretty similar yet people get into Harvard but get rejected from Yale (I've seen it in person), does that mean the person with a perfect GPA, SAT score and the perfect application wasn't good enough for Yale? No it's extremely subjective and based on an admin officer's choice. Schools let people in who don't have the credentials for the school - like bad students getting into Harvard or Duke for a sport (bball), the school has an agenda like sports titles, ticket sales etc. IMO that is extremely unfair academically bc they get a super elite degree without being qualified and actual smart kids lose spots for dumb athletes. Then there is the thing about affirmative action (I can see the point for a fair chance but skin color shouldn't be the basis, it should be for low income in general). People who don't match the rest of the applicants are getting in to reach "quotas" for the reputation of the school rather than their merit. Even "donating a building" dumb kids, they're not there on merit and it's wrong but it's legal. All of those facts combined tell me that there's no real way to prove that you were wrongly rejected/ cheated bc it comes down to a person saying Yes or No.
On OJ - she was a grad of Marymount High (personal experience with a student, it's as tough/ tougher than college) and her "extra curriculars" = 2m follower youtube channel, acting, modelling, brand deals, etc do hold a lot of weight on their own, so considering those 2 things I think she can definitely be put in another category from normal applicants. Celebs even Malala (meh grades, but nobel prize) got into oxford, James Franco etc etc are given special consideration for their work that normal students don't get. I think what OJ did was awful and unlike donor kids (donations benefit all students), their scam only benefitted her/ the bribed guy. Someone who didn't care about college and literally scammed on the basis of a fake sport doesn't deserve to be there. However considering everything I said above I have no reason to think anyone elses chances were hurt by this because, being subjective and unfair with all the different BS, there's no guarantee that anyone was "cheated" out of a spot. If it were all grades and there was a concrete system there would definitely be a case but college admin is the basically a lottery so there's no way to prove that i or any other applicant have been affected by their choice.
On top of that, I think people suing are only interested in money and are not genuine in their cause bc then every applicant ever in history would deserve compensation. Why should a handful of randoms get millions when others get nothing and to me, how are they entitled to that reward at all?? on top of that - trying to take money from a school's fund used for student causes like buildings, research funding, school improvement expenses for yourself is totally disgusting to me. I see that behaviour as irrational and morally corrupt and selfish. Also how can you complain that OJ is entitled and undeserving of what she got yet the lawsuit people think they deserve MILLIONS of money they did not earn - is that entitlement too?
I think what people are brushing over is that the Colleges accepted the money?! They didn't have to...
It wasn’t the colleges it was individuals. That’s the scandal. The millions were going into a few people’s pockets. If they were going towards a new library or football field no one would have a problem with it. In fact those type of donations happen every year.
Copper Clouhds it was going into peoples pockets not to the college, so that’s why
Colleges didn't accept the money, the few individuals within the universities pocketed it themselves
@@dirgramsey6132 I'm guessing USC knew this was going on.
I think it qas the coaches and other staff that took bribes and told the administration they were a great candidate. I'm not 100% sure if an admin took a bribe, I think 1 did.
As a current high school senior who applied to a lot of the colleges involved in the scandal (I'm still waiting on decisions), it is really disheartening to see how much these college coaches and administrators value money above integrity and hard work. I think you really addressed the situation well, and you put a lot of my frustration into words.
Nicole Marie, I really feel so badly for you kids who are all working so hard and applying right now to schools/waiting for the letters and seeing all this corruption. Breaks my heart. It’s such a very hard lesson so very early in your working life. We aww it more as we get older in our work lives. As you get more established in your career throughout life - you be the integrity, emulate integrity - that is one thing we can always do. It’s very powerful. Don’t underestimate the power of integrity. Affect change from that place. That has a much more powerful, long term impacts - in terms of having both happiness and success and in uplifting all around you. Corruption always fails long term. Integrity wins long term.
Please let us know which ones you get into!!!
I hope you get accepted to a top school and do well. You deserve it you actually did the hard work.
Nicole Marie
Money makes these campuses go round if you have money you automatically gain integrity and respect
TERRIKA JOHNSON RESPONDING. READING YOUR COMMENT GOOD WISHES ON YOU GETTING INTO ONE OF THE SCHOOLS YOU APPLIED FOR. I'M SOOO DISAPPOINTED ON WHAT HAPPENED. BUT HAPPY THAT THE TRUTH CAME OUT.
The saddest thing about the scandal is the lack of confidence that these parents hold for their children. By paying off admission basically tells you child "you can't do this on your own"
I read about a college professor who after meeting his students ,and finding out how dumb they were , just up and QUIT .
Because that vapid, bubble headed, ignorant moron Olivia Jade can’t do it on her own.
i think you should totally join in on the class action lawsuit! denied or accepted you can join in against USC
Some folks think the $500 billion lawsuit involves just one plantiff. They are stupid. I hope you and half the students in California join in on the class action lawsuit
Yes join in, these people need to pay
How do I join I was rejected by usc too
that's a horrible thing to encourage, these schools have like 4-9% acceptance rate out of all applicants, they get hundreds of thousands of applications and reject those who don't make the cut... there is something called a waitlist for students who are actually being considered for those spots. Just applying to USC doesn't mean you're entitled to anything, I hate all of you trying to talk about morals when you're supporting money hungry clowns who jumped at the first opportunity to benefit themselves instead of doing something real about the issue.
Most people are suing these schools... if they have to pay millions of dollars to people for no GOOD reason that is money being taken away from projects and investments and scholarships for STUDENTS. Less scholarships and aid for those in need, you think thats reasonable?
@@defdef911 Are you fucking serious? You think people who got rejected from a school ( 90% who are just joining for money regardless of the stats of 4-9% acceptance out of hundreds of thousands of applications) should get the equivalent of the US ANNUAL MILITARY BUDGET? I'm sorry but I have no respect for anyone who is talking about morals and hard work and how Olivia Jade is entitled but thinks that they are entitled to millions of dollars of a university's money or money a person has lawfully earned for bc they were rejected from a school? I'm sickened by these lawsuit-happy folks just as much as the cheaters. You are "entitled" to money that you earn, that's all you're entitled to in life.
Just how good is a USC diploma, considering they are for sale?
watchingthecrazyworld bahahahaha
the school is a shit hole, stay way from this dump or you will have a reputation like these idiots.
About as much as one from Yale, UCLA and Harvard.
It’s obvious once you get it you will graduate if you show up. I’m sure they pay to have their work done or cheat to get by. I assume that most of the athletes that graduate know how to get the grades.
@@roboctober7099 Ooooo looks like we have someone who was rejected in the houuuse!
So many people work hard to try and get into that collage and for people to not work hard at all and take that opportunity from someone is sickening.
It's the same as white priviledge.
College*
I went to USC for a year of grad school...
...Regardless how you felt at the time of your rejection, and how you feel now...
...You dodged a bullet. It’s the “University of Spoiled Children” with very few exceptions. They charge a lot of tuition money for an education quality you could get at a Cal State for 1/5th the price. You’re really just paying for the name or connections, for whatever that may be worth. Also if you do your research on the main college or the Keck School of Medicine on the USC Health Sciences Campus, you will find USC has a pretty hefty number of scandals, corrupt staff, and questionable spending habits over the past 40 years.
Don’t ever beat yourself up about it. Trust me.
MrFuggleGuggle i’m sorry to say, USC master programs are pretty bad compared to PhD and undergrad. No master student gets a full picture of USC. It is well known that undergrad and PhD are the hardest to get into whereas master programs are very easy to get into and are therefore packed with unqualified ppl. Your 1 year master experience speaks for nothing, unfortunately.
slee I mean, you’re the ones still ‘dying’ to pay $50,000 a year toward a worthless degree (but a friendship with Rebecca and Lance Fattycat) for them to build a million dollar facility with the sole goal of protecting their silly Tommy Trojan statue from UCLA vandalism. I’m over that phase and scam.
Academia is overrated, and overpriced. If education and earning the degree is what’s really important to you, that does not need to be expensive. If tailgating, partying, networking, and prestige is what you really desire - I hope you got deep pockets or rich parents!...
slee That’s your problem right there. Not everyone can nor desires to be a hedge fund manager. Even if your mommy and daddy thought otherwise when they got you the job, Jessica Schlomo.
slee I mean, I’m self made working in software making six figures testing and writing software code...none of which requires a college degree, nor has anything to do with the degree I earned more than a decade ago for my Bachelors. But what do I know, a lowly fool who actually works for a living and never needed their parents or friends/relatives to get where I am today, or where I will be 10 years from now...?
But since you and your upbringing seem to value elitism and nepotism over actual merit, skill, and ability to create and engineer the future - perhaps overpriced schooling is a better fit for people in your circles. Lord knows you probably wouldn’t survive without it.
You’re the perfect sheep to market it to.
Bruh what's you're major this sounds like some major BS. I've been to 4 Universities in my life for undergrad and the quality of a csu doesn't even compare to usc. Best experience of my life I'm currently getting a PhD here and I want to teach here too
I was curious for a while how Olivia Jade got in and you didn’t, though idk her stats and she did travel/work often
Yeah I was super confused why she was in college
I was shocked she went to USC cause i thought she went to FIDM or something
She admitted she barely went to HS in the first place. Red flags everywhere.
Christina Olivia doesn’t even like school and she didn’t have good grades
Kam K exactly why I was curious
You are wise beyond your years. Your parents should be proud they raised a young lady with such wisdom and self confidence.
The crazy thing is those rich kids probably weren't even trying to graduate 🤯😤
Exactly, Olivia said herself she was just there for the parties. She hated school work.
Their parents were going to pay for that too
If they are paying to get into the school I don't see them hesitating to pay for passing grades
Yeah I bet she would've lived off her parents and her TH-cam money and not have even thought about a career other than TH-cam.
If we want to be technical they didn't even want to really go to school. Just wanted to be seen as prestigious and party lol
I love this video. USC has been my dream school since I was 12. I for sure understood that it was competitive to get into, but I applied to the masters program and did my undergrad at a different college. All throughout my college years, I’d do my best to maintain a high GPA, I’d try to get involved in clubs and activities, and I was even on the basketball team for a bit. I’ve worked on Say Yes To The Dress, produced/directed/wrote my first short film, recently completed my first screenplay, had a total of 5 internships, and I have a 3.9 GPA. Yet, I also got rejected a few days ago from USC. It’s not fair that people can pay to get in, and meanwhile, people like you and I who work so hard for years don’t even stand a chance at getting accepted. It definitely sucks
I’m assuming you are in film production? That’s what I’m going to college for!
Try John Hopkins
I’m glad college students are speaking out about this!
Same here, I want them mad about this, perhaps scan lead to an education revolution on the countries most crushing financial situation ever. These kids take on huge debt they can never repay or when they do they have 20 years at best to save to retire??? but these creatures with tons of cash pay and take up slots? Yes...the rich DO have a reason to worry about the lower class. Why a few 1%ers have openly commented they fear what will happen when "they realize what we are doing to them."
I believe you have a great future ahead. You appear to be resilient and wise.
Petition for USC to drop Olivia jade and replace her with you
Nah don’t go where you are not wanted. Tons of good schools that aren’t corrupt
@Male genital health videos channel - over18 only don't they deserve it? They took two slots from two other kids. They were willing to take those dreams away from kids who worked so hard to get in just so their spoiled children can once again get something they don't deserve.
she already dropped out lol
I sign
@Male genital health videos channel - over18 only
She dropped out, and it's good that she made the decision not to go back to USC, the one she 'cheated' her way towards.
Goodbye, partying, hello reality. Looks like mom and dad did way too good of a job spoiling you and your own sister.
Money can't buy you everything and neither can wealth, or status.
Emma is so mature for her age. No matter what college you get into you will have that feeling of accomplishment knowing you did it yourself.
This is literally the purest video. this must be so disheartening, but you are so strong. You will be so successful because you worked for what you want. Just like you said you will end up exactly where you are supposed to be !! Love you xx
USC was my dream school I got a 1310 on the SAT and had a 4.456 GPA. Didn't get in. Saw this whole situation and wanted to cry. So many of us worked very, very hard to attend. But, I am so impressed by this young lady's ability to be composed and empathetic in this heinous situation. And sometimes these things can be a blessing, as I'm now slated to attend Loyola Marymount University in the fall, and I'm super excited! I know that this eloquent, well spoken, intelligent and well put together gal has plenty of options to choose from.
Olivia Jade makes me feel so angry. So disheartened. I'm really sorry about how you didn't get in, but just remember that whatever happens, is for the best.
A video like this should be shown to those terrible parents involved in the case. A young, bright-eyed, hard working kid crushed by their actions. Glad you made a video and spoke up.
As a high school counselor, I want to thank you for this video. The words that ring so true: what makes anyone think that they will succeed? I have a feeling that you will be a success in anything you do, and I am so very impressed with your incredible work ethic. Please remember that the most important name on a diploma is YOURS, not the location of the "elite" school. Good luck!
No truer words spoken!! But always remember to follow your heart and your own path. Good luck in whatever life leads you to ♡♡♡
Love this so much! Really helpful words for me as a high school student! ❤️
"Please remember that the most important name on a diploma is YOURS, not the location of the "elite" school" wow I really appreciate you saying this, thanks from a 4th year college student
Thanks for this my daughter was just rejected from her top choice school so I’ll show this to her later ❤️
Be sure to blame it on Olivia Jade. That will make her feel better.
I remember how excited you were in hopes to get to USC. It really is saddening from Lory to teach her kids that everything is handed to them in a gold platter. I grew up in a family where we have to work to get the things we want. I remember leaving to college and my parents giving me $100 and telling me that’s all they can provide me with. I’m glad you were able to speak out your feelings. I was also rejected from my dream college and I also cried for months. But I’m happy to be where I’m at right now. You are amazing Emma 🧡
When did they change the expression from "silver platter" to gold? LOL!
Very well said. I completely 100% agree with you. I think it's totally unfair that they got everything handed to them.
I’m sorry my for you. You worked so hard and was rejected but she got in from a bribe. It’s not fair but now her family and the school leaders got what they deserved. Public humiliation.
Charis Davis maybe it is a blessing she didn’t get in. Do you really want to go to a school like this?!
@@leighmassey6356 agreed a blessing in disguised, but its still infuriating that you applied to the same school and in the same year and did everything right and still not get in. While this scandal broke and rethinking why you didn't get in.
Huge respects for you Emma! As a high-school senior I think I can say that I'm in your shoes. I'm really inspired by how dedicated you are towards your goals by doing everything in your power. But more importantly is how calm you are when talking about such a frustrating and relatable issue. I'm so glad that you didn't join the backlash!! This is incredible!!
I’m so glad people like you are filming these videos! The whole reason it should be a big deal.
This video couldn't have explained it better. I'm from Washington DC, and I applied to USC during my senior year 2016-2017 school year. Not getting in not only disappointed me, it made me frustrated on how the rich and elite powerful kids have a leverage over prestigious schools than average Joes like you and me. Nonetheless, I picked myself up after having the feeling of being punched in the stomach ( USC was my dream school as well, I felt like it was my destiny to go there ). While I am happy with my current school, I still wish I could have gone to USC from my freshman year. Once I'm done with undergrad, I will be applying to USC's Keck school of medicine. So there's still hope to fulfill my dream. If not, I will just accept the way things are and make the best of whatever medical school I get into. The passion I have for USC is not like anyone else's. In high school, I would dream and breathe of being in USC. To this day, I wish I was at USC. But I wish I would be there from the beginning, not midway to the end. No point in transferring just to get half the package. Good luck wherever you are at.
gameexpert2011 good for you! I got rejected the same year! And just got accepted to USC as a transfer. I was so devastated, but I hope people know that there is always a chance!
I remember being so shocked that you didn’t get into USC. I know it’s a really competitive school but you seem like such a hard worker and that you completely earned that opportunity all on your own. My best friend applied and didn’t get in (ironically enough she is a rower of crew) but although she was bummed she is still ended up going to Yale! Honesty and integrity always out weigh money, lies, and dishonesty. Karma is always out to get this wrong individuals! I hope you have a successful college career!!! :))
Dude same I didn’t get in so I decided to go to TCU instead just study hard and work hard and you get into amazing life in the future
exactly, they deserve everything thats coming to them as punishment they should start at community college while working an average job (since Olivia jade lost all her sponsorships) then apply *again* and see if she still gets in that way she knowns what real hard work and being an *influencer* is
@@varshachooranolickal exactly, I know it sounds cliche but its true I had to find out the hard way my self first four years of CC want good grades gonna have to put in the work. When you apply yourself amazing things happen in your life. There's no shortcuts to success.
Noelle Chase so true that’s what my parents taught me all my life
e Kelly Yale is much more prestigious too. That just shows what a sham USC is as well as the wealthy plague that is California.
That jade bird never even had the smarts to fill in the application form. Hilarious.
I was about to dm you about how you feel about this since you applied to USC, thanks for answering!
She wouldn’t have responded to a dm
GetEbolaKid she reads dms, she either replies or just reads them/leave on read

As a USC alum (c/o 2013) AND a former USC admission officer (my first job after graduation!), I know firsthand how emotionally draining the college admission process can be. During my time in the office of admission, it was a blessing and a curse to have such an excess of incredibly qualified and special applicants to consider as potential future Trojans. You are right to be proud of your hard work. Your words are wise beyond your years. And USC would have been lucky to have you! Happy to hear you are happy where you are, but know that transferring (while also quite a competitive process) is a great opportunity for a second shot. Fight On!
You are a very thoughtful, grounded young woman. You are right that integrity matters - even more so than the outcomes themselves. Integrity leads to not only success but also to long term happiness. Never forget these principles you speak of now or allow the corruption out there to sway your brightness and positivity. Run for office one day. We need people like you in leadership roles in this country.
I'm so glad you are speaking out dear!! I hope to see more students speak out!!You are beautiful from the inside out! Keep shining!!💕💕
I feel you so hard girl :( I wanted to go to USC so badly and it was my dream school all throughout high school and hearing this story about Olivia Jade makes me so disheartened in the system... just goes to show that the US college system has so much more to improve on.
My heart goes out to you. College doesn’t matter. Honesty and integrity matters. Good luck!
You handled this really really well. I agree with everything that was said, and as someone who is a high school senior and worked my butt off all year, it makes me angry that people like Olivia got in without doing any work
You have a great sense of humility and seem very genuine, as well as humble. Wish you the best for you and your journey!
Emma, you dodged a bullet not getting into USC. God had a different plan for you, and I think this is a way for Him to reveal that. 💕
as someone who got into usc as a senior in the graduating class of 2021, it’s sometimes hard to announce this achievement without someone (specifically family) mentioning this scandal in a way that sort of shames this accomplishment. i do have no doubts that similar cases like this one are still going on unnoticed
I think you handled the situation with much grace and maturity. Thank you for sharing how you're feeling about the whole situation! And I'm glad that you're loving where you are 💕
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I know how it feels. The same thing happened with my son and NYU. He had top grades, incredible test scores, enough AP credits to skip his first year. All he ever dreamed of was going to NYU. During the school visit we met with one of the admissions staff. They basically told him unless he had a famous last name, he didn’t have much chance. He still tried but didn’t get in. He was devastated.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this because I was a Stanford reject… I worked my ass off to get there and I still wasn’t good enough
Stanford’s acceptance rate is 5% lol maybe you just weren’t good enough
I like how calm you were while filming this bc it is a hard topic to discuss. Like if I was you, I’d be so incredibly pissed so props to u
THANK YOU for talking about this !! it's so refreshing to hear young youtubers being open about such a controversial topic but you covered this with grace. love your videos btw 💛
I sat on review boards where professors talk smack about kids who did their own applications, but had grammar errors! Those kids were passed over for the perfect application. Go figure!
Emma I have so so much more respect for you after watching this video. I wish you all the best in college, you're going to kill it in life girl 💕
You must have the best parents ever. So solid and mature. It won’t matter what school you graduate from. You’ll be fine in whatever you do. Take care.
I want my daughter to be like her when I have one! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
I HOPE THIS BLOWS UP OMFG
Very well spoken. Wish you all the best and success in your life and chosen career.
Girl, I feel you. I was waitlisted from SC( heart was broken), applied again as a transfer student after I went to a state school( which oddly enough because of the people I met there I ended up loving. had great friends), then got in SC. I entered as a sophomore( i'm grateful I got in, but i would have rather started as a normal freshman you know. they had special programs for freshman during welcome week and stuff. its just a bit different for a freshman). But, the fact is with these schools this type of thing happens ALL the time, which is sucky. People "donate" to the school all the time, and you CAN'T tell me that that admissions dont notice the students who apply who come from super wealthy families that donate like $200 K to SC. It's like that at most schools. I had a friend who had a great heart/ she was a moral person/ very christian.... but she was pretty dumb. Like how she graduated I had no idea, but she always mentioned how her parents donated a ton of money every year..... then i was like OHHHHH it makes sense. Another friend was from a middle class white fam, and she got a sports scholarship in running, and she HATED HATED running. All her free time was taken up by running, but she needed the scholarship so she couldn't drop out. In the end I don't believe where you go to school matters. I know people who went to Yale/Harvard/Princeton and they aren't successful yet. People make themselves successful not the school they went to. I hope they change the admission process though( where like the admission counselors won't know whos family donated to schools/ who's applicants are legacies of the school/ who's families are super rich...i feel like certain info should be withheld from the admission process), so that no one has to have their heart broken over college.
Alex and Nicky aren’t seeing their mom again. LOL.
You are so right - honesty and integrity is most important. At the end of the day, you can sleep well and be at peace. Wish you all the best in college.
I'm glad you put this video out there and I hope Olivia and the others cheaters can watch and learn first hand who they impacted through their fraudulent actions.
I agree with you!! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
it sucks for those kids who worked their butts off wanting to get to the top colleges and now seeing those kids who just got in without the stress I’m currently a junior in hs hoping to get into my dream college
Now I’m a senior and I looked closely at this scandal and I felt extremely frustrated. Like some people just brushed away with this news, like “she just made a mistake, probably not even a mistake”, but I just felt enraged
Your school doesn’t define who you are, your morals & values does. Keep working hard and you’ll have everything you’ve ever dreamed of and it’ll be totally worth because you put in the time and effort.
This girl Olivia didn't even fill her own application !!!! This is too much am so sorry for you Bab you deserve so much better.
I agree with everything you said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was shocked too because acceptance rates are pretty low at USC and someone like her didn't deserve that spot.
Never watched this channel before but it was in my recommendations, so I clicked on it. I have to say thank you for being open about how you didn’t get accepted to the University you wanted. I think so many people experience this and it can be so disheartening and can really be a blow to your confidence! Being open about it can be helpful cause when applying to multiple schools we all experience it!
I knew you would make this and I’m really happy that you did 👍🏼💕
high school senior here. praying that this scandal improves my chances !! my parents didn't bribe anyone so getting in somewhere feels amazing!
People who work their ass off to get into their dream deserve to go. Not the snobby rich people who pays who knows how many thousands of dollars for their kid to go to a really good school when they don’t even do shit in their life and they depend on their parents for everything. Great video Emma, well said❤️
you are being so nice about this scandal! it takes real strength and maturity to act this way.
I guess Olivia and her family are where they are supposed to be :) Love how karma works. So sorry they robbed you of your dream. This world is so corrupt.
Thanks for showing your support of many young students working hard to get what they want. So happy that you said you are happy where you are proving you can do it without playing the part or cheating 🙏🏼💚 all the best to you young lady 🤗
Good things will come to those who work for them. I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
I knew this was coming!!! I feel so upset for you :(
This was such a good, respectful and insightful response to this scandal. I have seen so many videos where people are angry or frustrated, which I totally get, but you handled this so well and it is so awesome to see you on the other side. I got rejected too from my dream college but seeing you like this is so inspiring.
Glad you shared your feelings. It’s important people know how this has affected honest and hard working people.
I think you really helped us see how this effects not just the people doing the scandal, also I think you really deserved to go there❤️❤️
Why does everyone think Olivia is the only one who did this? So many rich kids have done this so I don’t know why everyone and there mom is making a video bashing Olivia specifically. If anything, it’s the teachers fault for illegally letting them in.
Iconic Queen no. It’s all of them. The mom was the one who bribed them which was wrong. The people at the school took the bribe which was wrong. And Olivia didn’t stand up for what was right. She knew that what her mother was doing was wrong but went along with it, just because she wanted to party and get the college experience. She knows that some people who work so hard don’t get in or do get in because they work hard, but not her because she didn’t do anything deserving to get in.
Also just because “so many rich kids do this” doesn’t make it right
Charis Davis ik, I’m saying youtubers are all making videos bashing Olivia, but others kids have done the same thing, if anything they need to bash the colleges
Charis Davis obviously, but people act so shocked when this story came out, when it was obvious this was happening before the police found out
because Olivia is the one who legit SAID, "I'm just going to school to party" so, at least the other kids WANT to go to college.
They deserve aaaaallllll the backlash they get. Deplorable.
Can u plz do a SAT prep or how u can prepare for the SAT?
YES!!!
PLEASE
Ashley I got the SAT prep book and enrolled in an online course too! :)
Uh, yeah... kind of need this soon. I’m a junior, and I still cannot understand math for the dear life of me.
Kitty Love yea same I can’t handle math, but what really helped me was SAT prep classes on Tuesday’s. It was $50. It ended already for me but if there’s any sat prep classes at your school take them :)
One good thing about this scandal is that we get to see how awesome this new generation really is. I'm just so impressed with your character, integrity, and beautiful inner light. Much love and well earned continued success.
She's great! A true star. I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
it’s def such a big scandal bc of how popular the family is ESP since they got caught but this happens all the time and i don’t think it’s something that gets addressed as often as it is now. thanks for speaking out on this and giving your own opinion!
You are such a sweetheart, such a kind soul and breath of fresh air.
Love her! I go to USC, and I just uploaded a video about my thoughts on Olivia Jade and the scandal. Wanted to offer the perspective of someone who goes to her school. Check it out
I don’t understand why many people want to go to these expensive colleges?? Like you’re still gonna get the same degree
Just so they can have an ego about where they studied lol
Well, in some industries, where you went to school is very important when you begin looking for a job. A school like USC does carry some cache and provides great networking opportunities. That said, my husband went to Beer Keg U, graduated, went out into the world with an incredible work ethic and determination and is now a multi millionaire, in addition to being an all round good person. So you are correct, people who are smart and ambitious will generally succeed no matter where they end up for college. But there is no denying that a degree from Harvard or the like is going to get your foot in the door quicker than the average Joe, even if all other things are equal.
Lol that’s literally propaganda put out by this over priced schools. The only thing that’ll help you get a job is work experience. This girl in this video is a the exact kind of fool these schools pray on. Honestly Olivia just wanting to go party is more subversive than anything this heifer will ever do...
@@nicole601 Yeah, not really. There is a saying "it's not what you know but WHO you know." Schools that have a tight networking culture can and DO get jobs for young graduates who have never worked a day in their lives. Schools that are seen as very prestigious do in fact carry some great perks, and getting a job is one of them. Why do you think people sell their souls to get into these schools? That's the real world. Does that mean graduating from Tailgate U means you can't succeed? Not at all! But that grad may have to work a bit harder to get the same result.
Girl, off subject, but you are absolutely cute as a button!
@@khman1983 your disgusting get some help
@@khman1983 tf is wrong with you? get some help, kid
I'm so glad you talked about this because this whole thing is so disheartening.
You literally nailed this with every word you said.
love you emma & loved hearing you talk about this! as always such a well spoken & intelligent gal 💖it's been a wild week in the usc community
Rowan Born much love for you! 💗
I'd be so frustrated! I'm super glad you are speaking up.
Emma, I never knew someone like Jesse's girlfriend from Full House would do something like this, I could imagine what the other cast members are saying about it, wow, unbelievable!!!🙄
They had to know...Olivia has never had Taco Bell. Enough said.
I’ve been wondering about this whole situation
I watched your USC rejection video and I'm so sorry! I love your positive attitude.
very proud of you
Well put Emma. If you have nothing else, you always have your integrity. No one can take that away from you. Very inspiring video. Good job
But I thought everyone knew rich parents bribe their way into elite schools. Harvard has a Z-list for legacy admissions. Princeton's homepage evens boasts of their percentage of legacy admits! Asian students of extremely high caliber get denied to all top schools, so I don't see why people are so hung up over parents bribing their way in. Also, why would celeb parents care about their kids going to good schools? They're already celebrity kids - they don't need degrees and top schools. They'll become famous just because they have famous parents. Going to top schools and being academic is a way to succeed for regular people - but celebs are already rich and famous.
i think most did but now we have names of people to hatr
This is the definition of true girl empowerment, grace, dignity, stating the truth, owning your response to life with positivity and willingness to pursue your dreams with hard work and integrity! So proud of you Emma, what a wonderful, strong role model you are. Your parents did amazing, believe in yourself to go far in this world!
i saw ur vid in my recommended and my heart hurt. i hope ur happy and living life where u are now ❤️❤️❤️
It must be so unfair to get your spot taken from someone who don't deserve it.
