College Application Fees: Some Bullshit

Okay one thing I really have a problem with is college application fees. Like, do you really need $50 from me just so you can accept me and fuck me with more stupid bills and shit? Weak.

According to US News and World Report, only 2% of undergrad programs don't charge to apply.

They also compiled the list of 25 schools that charge the most to apply.

Or "Boo" for short

I won't go through the whole list, but you can see the whole thing here. It lists the application fee next to US News ranking of that institution. Some of the differences in fee and rank are amusing.

Number one is Stanford standing alone at $90. Jesus, that is bleeding you for a fucking application. At least it's ranked number 5 so the fee is somewhat justified.

I can pay in weed right?

Coming in at #3 is Boston University. it has a $75 fee and is ranked 56th. Hey BU, newsflash, you aren't Harvard (whose fee is also $75, but they are ranked #1 in the country). Even Boston College, the most pretentious pompous-ass university of all time, only charges $70. Come on BU.

Who wants to get fucked in the wallet?

George Mason has a $75 fee as well. They are ranked lowest of all schools on the list. Come on guys, at least like try to not fuck your students. You are ranked 143 and you're charging the same as Harvard and MIT? Gimme a fucking break.

Now most people just shrug off the fee as a necessary part of the college experience or whatever. Bullshit, say the average kid applies to 5-10 schools, the average fee is like $42. But say, hypothetically, you are actually smart. If you apply to Harvard, Colombia, Stanford, and Dartmouth as a safety school, that would be $315 just to apply. And most kids apply to way more schools than that. The fee is a good introduction to college life, if they can fuck you in the ass with a fee, they will. Welcome to college freshman, financial buttrape at it's finest.
