As a high school senior in a similar situation to Hogg (rejected from most of my top choices) this really just does not sit well with me. Getting rejected from any school is a punch in the gut, let alone a whole slate of options shut down in the span of a few days. Having your disappointment broadcast to millions is the last thing I would want, and getting made fun of by a pundit can only make the pain worse for this kid. Whether or not you like Hogg it's not fair to go after a kid for a process that is such a crapshoot (especially this year when acceptance rates across the board but especially in the UC system are tumbling at an unprecedented rate). I've never held a strong opinion on Laura Ingraham but this really makes me dislike her even though she's on my side politically. That attack is just cruel and unnecessary at what is undoubtedly a very painful and difficult time for this kid. I would know, of course.
However I will admit that the fact that I got into (and will be attending) one of the schools he was rejected from is mildly satisfying to a degree
