Hate Mail to College Board

Hate+Mail+to+College+Board

Ava Paulsen, Editor in Chief

Dear College Board,

How long did it take you to devise the most 

pointless yet paramount test for high school students

 

Say NO to drugs but YES to the SAT

Even though I could probably get further as a dealer than with a 1600

 

Dear College Board,

The universities are finally seeing your incompetence

 

Must be brutal for you

To get rejected by every UC school 

 

Even Santa Cruz passed you up 

and their mascot is a banana slug

 

Dear College Board,

Your website’s down again 

You’d think the people who created AP computer science

would be better at computer science. 

 

But you know

I bet you couldn’t pass the SAT if you had the answer key 

tattooed on your forearm

 

Dear College Board, 

The liberal arts schools are straight-up friendzoning you 

with their “test optional” option

 

You saw that coming though

since the majority of them are already in bed with the ACT

 

Oh the ACT. You two are dumb and dumber

 

Don’t worry, College Board stays the dumbest. 

 

Dear College Board, 

I have to give you one thing:

 

A sincere congratulations on brainwashing an entire nation into thinking 

Your courses hold value 

And your test scores mean something. 

 

The coercion

You know I’m impressed 

 

And I think I’d hate you less 

If wasn’t thanks to you 

That we’re all so depressed.
