the webb schools

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!”
