As we draw to the close of the college admissions process, thousands of students

are waiting with drawn breath for Friday, when Stanford University will release
their decisions. I was one of these students, until I stumbled upon revelations
that have shaken me to the core and caused me to realize the true nature of
Stanford. I share this as a warning, with the hope that one day the terrible truth
will come to light: Stanford isn’t real.

First, we should make some observations. Stanford, or “Stanford” as I will refer to


it occasionally, has one of the most expensive application fees in the country.
This will be important later. Second, Stanford is considered one of the most
prestigious colleges in the country and has an exceptionally low acceptance rate.
It has alumni with a wide range of accomplishments and talents, and is generally
listed as one of the world’s best places to study.

Now despite all this, let me ask, have you ever really seen anyone from “Stanford”?
Have you ever met someone who recently attended the college? Sure people say they
get in and go, but then what? Nothing, never to be seen again. Take a look at their
website: the campus looks good right? But where are all the people?

Now, here’s the explanation. Stanford does not exist. The campus, although
obviously real, is a mere prop akin to a movie setting. They can accomplish this by
rejecting every applicant, and pocketing their application fee in order to keep the
“campus” looking good. When you apply to “Stanford”, you are not applying to a
school but rather paying a shadowy shell company close to a hundred dollars. The
interviewers? All paid actors. The pictures? All fake. There is no “Stanford”, but
rather a fake campus and a network of lies.

Obviously, you probably think this is complete nonsense. “What about my friend?”
you ask. “He’s a freshman at Stanford right now!” But tell me, when was the last
time you saw him? “Oh he got an internship over the summer!” You sure? Perhaps he
was paid off with some excess funds to “attend” so-called “Stanford”.

Finally, the “alumni”. Let me ask you a hypothetical question. Imagine you, through
hard work and some luck, rose to the top of the corporate ladder and became a CEO.
All your peers attended Ivies and similar institutions, while you didn’t attend
college. It’d make you feel pretty small, right? But what if you were approached by
someone from “Stanford” saying they could register you as an official alumni for a
simple one-time payment? I don’t know about you, but I’d take the deal. And so
would many others, leading to a self-fulfilling cycle where people become “alumni”
in order to increase their social status, therefore making Stanford seem more
prestigious and attractive.

What we see as one of the most competitive and selective schools in the world is
merely one giant illusion to keep the world’s greatest minds at bay, one $90
application fee at a time. Stay woke my friends, and stay safe.
