What makes you think that wasn't a comedy bit? 

 

NBC News does comedy?  

 
No. I mean the applicant who didn't think he'd get accepted decided to
work the system to his advantage. He didn't take the process seriously
and just made the least amount of effort. I assume he was planning on
telling everybody that his application was rejected and he just
submitted it for fun.
 
Let's see if he can keep up the act for four years coasting through
school without doing real work but keeping his grades up anyway
because it meets diversity goals.

The article was dated 2017 so I would have to believe he graduated a
couple of years back....

It seemed from the article that he really believed in the whole
Black Lives Matter/social justice movement, at least in 2017. I wonder
if he grew up ideologically after that, perhaps during the St. George
Floyd riots?
