You have no idea, especially when grades were manually entered into the system by student assistants way back when.
Exactly. I almost think he put more work into his lying than it would have taken for him to actually get into a good school and do well.
I can't see the movie now... Kid gets rejected by Harvard. Kid goes to small school but dreams of Harvard. Kid concocts ridiculous plan to get into Harvard...hilarity ensues. Kid gets busted by that mean old dean. Kid drums up support of his friends and is allowed to stay if he passes all of his classes. Kid goes through crazy study sequence in which he studies in the shower, falls asleep studying, has gets girl while studying, etc., etc...hilarity ensues. Kid has to sprint across campus to get to test on time. Kid passes tests and there is a large party...hilarity ensues.
sounds like it's been done before... you forgot the part where he destroys the dean's career while winning over his daughter and having sex with her in the following scene.
Sounds like this guy would have been solid if he hadn't applied for the Rhodes Scholars program. Sometimes, you gotta know when to quit. If he had just laid low at Harvard and graduated, he wouldn't have gotten caught.
