A small private boarding school in Claremont California where the majority of your tuition goes to inane things like golf carts, pointless swivel-chair desks, and unnecessary
fancy Porta Potties. A place with selling points like the Alf Museum to mask the amount of stress/pressure students face. A place where
literally everyone has a leadership role to get into a good college, but who are we kidding, only like 2 people get into the Ivy League schools. A place with decent
food, if you like chicken. A place that believes in second chances until you bring
alcohol or drugs into the mix. A place that prides itself on being a school of diversity, when in reality, all the faculty are white and the students are ‘diverse’ if you count the 1000
asian races. A place that claims to believe in stress & mental health, but just rents boba trucks until people stop talking about it. A place that has breaks every six weeks to avoid
burn-out potential. A place where everyone hooks up when they can find
time. A place where
kids are forced to mature extremely quickly because otherwise there is no possible way of keeping up with the
6 hrs of hw per
night. A place where getting A's is celebrated, but a B is failing. Where the average ACT score is a 31 because everyone secretly hires Test
Prep Gurus. A place that only voices liberal opinions but claims to represent all political beliefs. A place where you'll find the best and worst people you'll ever meet. Oh and did I mention, no one sleeps?
college admissions officer 1: "So this student's record looks great... except they got a suspension once for taking an
Uber?!"
college admissions officer 2: "They must be from The Webb Schools!"
college admissions officer 1: "
Yikes, his ACT score is a 29 and he took only 6
AP's... Let's wait-list him!"
