A ritzy school in L.A. where a third of the kids are Asian, 'cause you have to be smart. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are school holidays. And the rest are movie stars' kids or their parents own one-third of Sony.

High-pressure place. People cry because they didn't get into AP chemistry.

Don't go all Harvard Westlake on me. Your exam isn't till next week.

A super expensive private school with two campuses located in Studio City and Bel Air, that is surprisingly not for the rich and famous but for the rich and famous that have brains (although there are some exceptions to this rule).

It is mainly Asian but you don't see them or know about them because they're all in the library competing to see who's smarter.

It pretty much sucks if you don't care about having perfect grades and getting into Ivy League.

People for the most part are pretty nice, although they get shallower with the years. Everybody's pretty open-minded since there are so many races and religions in the student body that they don't discriminate (but they do make a lot of stereotypical jokes).

There are some students, like myself, that have gotten scholarships to HW for being "incredibly smart" even though once you're in there you see you're not so intelligent after all.

People like to exaggerate about how hard it is, but it is only hard if you're taking 6 AP classes out of 8 periods. They should really take it easy and enjoy all the drugs they can buy with all that money and stop calling people fat as an insult.
Me: "Dude, you look horrible. What happened to you?"
Fellow Harvard-Westlake student: "I only got 3 hours of sleep because I have a chemistry test today."
Me: "So you spent all night studying?"
Fellow Harvard-Westlake student: "I need to get a 100% or my grade will drop to an A-!"
Me: "That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. I'm gonna take a year off at a public school."

Hey so I go there and all my friends are like, "dude wtf why r u going to sleep at 10? Don't you have like 3 projects and a bunch of tests tomorrow?" Well, no. Its a pretty manageable work load and people over-exagerrate. Also, no kids commit suicide.....its only been a couple for personal, non-school reasons. There are a lot of asians, but not 1/3 and there are barely any people who get in because of their money. The girls are hot but only the top 20...then they all turn ugly. They aren't sluts. There are some guys who are jocks, but not all. I know I sound like some fag who is overly obsessed with his school but it really pisses me off....
"Dude, I got into Harvard Westlake. Should I go? I'm afraid its gonna make me commit suicide because of the work."

"No, it wont. Calm the fuck down and drop some balls."

This school is full of whores and fuckboys and the gym favorites. Not to mention all the gay and emo kids. Almost everyone is a stoner and depressed. Oh, and Parker will do anything for you to get detention. This school is complete bullshit. Fuck this school.

A school where one can find, in it's natural habitat, the elusive (and exclusive) Sluttus Lacostus (or mastercard whore). This species is characterized by it's astonishing lack of clothing, often exposing its buttox. When in mating season, the Sluttus Lacostus often develops a perplexing form of anorexia, often accompanied by even more shedding of clothing. One can sometimes lure the Sluttus Lacostus by standing perfectly still, covered in $100 bills and a "new hummer" scent. But novice travelers beware! Although the Sluttus Lacostus may look pretty and sweet, it will stop at no lengths to step all over you.
Yeah, I went over to Harvard-Westlake last week to pick up some fine booty, but I woke up two weeks later, in an alley, covered in blonde hairs, with "LV" sliced into my chest.

A super-posh private school divided into two campuses: the 'Middle School' (consisting of grades 7-9) is located in residential Bel Air area, and the 'Upper School' (consisting of grads 10-12) is located in the fine Studio City area, of which I am a proud patron.

anyway, you will only be accepted into Harvard Westlake if you are one or more of these things:
~very very rich (bonus if you're jewish too)
~a product of a Hollywood mogul/empress
~unusually intellectual (as in a genius)
~you have a sibling who goes there

yes, Harvard-Weslake is for rich-bitches, man-hoars, child prodigies, and bloomind Hollywoodites. if you are any of the above listed, than you're pretty much on the Harvard-Westlake golden steamer choo-choo!

don't get me wrong, Harvard-Westlake isn't a bad school! in fact, going to Harvard-Westlake will give your parents plenty to brag about! it's the best private school in the friggin country!

just be warned, you just might catch the deadly 'Supahpreppyrichiesmartass' virus while in attendance!

worthy of note: if you are actually black and, like me, have been called names such as oreo or wack, or milk and cookies, or likewise, Harvard Westlake is the school for you, because the ghettoist kids here are pretty much the white boys who watch too much MTV. and that is damn saaaddd fa sho.
Bobby Richboy: Yo' sucka I just got into Harvard-Westlake foo!!
Johnny Gangsta (who is actually black): Boy, you aint black.
Bobby Richboy: I'm practicin' fo Harvardizzle-Westlakizzle dizzle!

Jennifer (at Harvard Westlake): hey Lola! Do you think you can make it to Fred Segal this weekend? Daddy just gave me three thousand.
Lola: oh stop trying to act all rich, biatch!! you know you're only sore because my Daddy's yacht cost six million more than your daddy's yacht!!

worthy of note- I actually hearda conversation like the following in my math class with my own two ears.

BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS-

Teacher: you won't be at school next week?
Student: no. my dad's taking the family to a press conference in Japan. Daddy's thinking of a merger with Sony.

An upscale private school in Los Angeles where parents can be seen donating multi-million dollar buildings in order to foster educations for their otherwise stupid-ass children.
Muffy: Where's little Tiffy attending school this fall?

Muffy: Yes, but...didn't she fail out of elementary school?
Bunny: Yes, but Kenneth and I donated a couple million for a new gym!
