College = university. Presidential scholarship is a "full ride" (financial) grant based on academic merit.

Not just a scholarship. there are about 140 Presidential Scholars chosen each year. It's a really big honor, and celebrates massive achievement. not only do you have to graduate with honors, but do something to really stand out. Most Presidential Scholars speak multiple languages, invent innovative products, start a charitable organisation, or make some other positive impact on society. Many of these exceptional young people are Olympic Athletes, exceptional musicians, and a few have worked for NASA. Most of them are also Mensa level geniuses. It's an award indicating the best of the best of our nation's graduating high school students each year.

thankyou! I know college is uni and I know what a scholarship is I just didn't know what a 'presidential' one was. but you cleared it up perfectly, thanks :)

She's really not. Ripped jeans and combat boots don't make someone seem like a "lowlife". OP was being noisy and picking on someone who was minding their own business. If he doesn't like how she looks, he doesn't have to ******* look at her. She's growm, and I'm pretty sure she can do what she wants. Colleges want smart people, and I guarantee they couldn't give two ***** about dress or personal habits unless they're really overboard.

Please explain how torn jeans, combat boots, and smoking makes someone a "lowlife" Paul.

#243 - Smoking makes someone a low-life? Judgemental much? She was minding her own business, and didn't become rude until the OP decided to make comments about her choice of clothing.

Dressing the way she did does NOT! Make her a low life. You don't have to dress and act like a snob to prove to anyone that you're smart. OP was just some inconsiderate judgemental asshole and not EVERYONE in the world can afford designer clothes. By the time people get to college how they dress should be the least of their worries.

And I suppose you think everyone is wrong because they don't agree with your fascist idea of what a smart person should look like and act like? Smart people can see beyond your delusional standards and wear/do what makes them happy. How dare you judge their worth based on something as meaningless as how they choose to dress and smoking cigarettes.

Yeah, to go up to some random student on campus minding their own business and call them out for what they're wearing in front of a crowd of prospective students sounds very judgmental, makes the school look WAY more undesirable, and it seems like pretty awful representation to me. Like if I was in that tour I'd be thinking, "Wow, I don't want to go here because if I'm having a bad day and wear sweats to class, I'll get my effing head ripped off by some random jerk. Like this who the school wants me to see as a good role model, everyone else must be far more rude!" So what if she was in ripped jeans? I would want to go to school with diverse students, not a school with only people who dress and think and act the same.
