Why is this a trend? It’s overtly narcissistic and bratty.

Some of the most "successful" looking people are deeply insecure. They require constant attention and affirmation on their never-ending quest to collect credentials and prestige. If they didn't get the positive affirmation they so desperately seek, they would be forced to face the reality that their accomplishments mean nothing. So they post cringe in LI to get a bunch of likes and keep the existential dread at bay.

@Legal Counsel...I had to check her page. She ended up getting accepted to 24 schools. Decided on NYU. She has a post with 4 hats laid out on a table. NYU, Chicago, Harvard and Columbia and she picked up and put on the NYU hat. At least it wasn't on LinkedIn. Suppose it's acceptable on Instagram.

She picked the wrong school though. You don't pass on Harvard, lol.

This is akin to a high school recruit “narrowing” their list to only 25 schools. Congrats on getting form recruiting letters in the mail I guess…

There's no way that it's not done for a flex. Like raking up a high score in number of acceptance letters.

Wow just saw a post identical to this but with medical school.

That one also had like 45 logos. Why on earth would would apply to that many schools...

Well, medical school acceptance rates are like 3% or less so you better apply to like 50 or more if you want a shot, lol. Law school acceptance rate, on a national average is over 40%.

None of the top 100 medical schools have acceptance rate of over 10% (more than 75% are under 5%). Contrast this with law school acceptance rates for top 25 school which is 10x higher than medical school.

@Product Owner...didn't know that the 164 was in reference to a posted LSAT score. Reality...she got in because of diversity initiatives.

164 isn't a bad score but I can tell you for sure, with this score, it's an auto rejection if you're Asian and applying to Harvard.

Personally, I like posts like this one a lot because:
- it forces companies to admit, you were never out to “hire the best”
- long-term loyalty to a company is completely overrated
- it’s finally “cool” to have hard skills and focus on being really good at them
