Incoming first-year and high school hustler Mason Rimmer posted his college rankings on his college-focused YouTube channel. Notably, he listed UChicago as a regular decision target school, as his early decision application went to the Electoral College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince I was the president of the debate club and a varsity cross-country runner, I feel like the Electoral College would fulfill my political aspirations. If something goes wrong with the election, I can run really far away,\u201d Rimmer said in his video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rimmer, who had a higher GPA (normal and weighted) than you and an immaculate 36 on the ACT, was unfortunately rejected from the Electoral College because he lacked any experience with a major political party. After the decision, Rimmer said, \u201cUnfortunately, the political party I co-founded only won a few positions in the Rochester city government, as I was busy getting my Public Administration degree during my summer breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rimmer is the start of an expected trend of teenagers applying to the Electoral College, which has an acceptance rate of 0.02%. Despite his rejection, Rimmer walked away from the experience with a good story for his graduate school application and one electoral vote from the State of Maine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
