Harvard Student Is Too Busy For School, Offers $40,000 For Someone To Do It For Him
Q: At what age do smart, rich, and successful people start trying to cheat the system?
A: College.
A Harvard student, who is just too busy for something as tedious as a college education, is offering $40,000 for someone to attend the school pretending to be him. Tack that onto $50,000 of tuition and you’re looking at about a $90,000 bill for an education that some other kid is getting. It’s like some pseudo-scholarship nonsense. Competitive and incentive-driven pay? This guy must be Harvard material.
Here are some requirements he listed in his Craigslist ad:
You must have either a 4.0 GPA in high school, or a 3.5 or higher GPA from a university to get hired for this.
Your age does not matter, but you must be a male since I have a male name.I am looking for someone to attend Harvard University pretending to be me for four years, starting August 2014. I will pay for your tuition, books, housing, transportation, and living expenses and pay $40,000 a year with a $10,000 bonus after graduation. All you have to do is attend all classes, pass all tests, and finish all assigned work, while pretending you are me.
You do not need to worry about being accepted, I have already taken care of that.
If interested please email me a little info about yourself, and we can meet in person to discuss further.
There is a strong chance that this ad is fake, and they’ve already flagged it for removal. Hopefully it’s not, because this guy is playing the system beautifully and deserves to never have to attend class again.

Y’all already ran this story dumb ass.
12 years ago at 12:37 pm^ That’s fan-fucking-tastic! Now if you could take that sweet sweet $9500 paycheck you “earned” from merely working 12 hours a week, have it exchanged for quarters and proceed to shove it up your ass. Need some help? Ask your sisters friend who’s working 20 hours a week, she sounds like the type that would do some strange for some change.
12 years ago at 7:09 pm^ I like this guy’s style.
12 years ago at 4:36 pmSo if he lies about his degree, I’m sure he won’t mind my application to the job saying that I have a “Strong 4.0 in college and spend all my time in the library.” Instead of my true 2.1 GPA and heavily alcoholic related arrests on a good weekday. These only happen… Well lets just say, pretty frequently.
12 years ago at 12:54 pmOn one hand it’d be sick to make 170 grand and drink your way to a 2.5 but on the other hand you screw your life over because you have no employable skills at 22.
12 years ago at 12:54 pmI got a 3.1 but an Ivy League caliber head of hair
12 years ago at 12:58 pmWe all have Ive League caliber heads of hair…it’s what we do, Except SFPL.
12 years ago at 6:30 pmIn some of the lesser public school systems, any Joe with some motivation could get a 4.0 but would get eaten alive at Harvard
12 years ago at 1:28 pmGetting good grades at Harvard is a joke. Grade inflation is so rampant that any asshole that shows up to class will get an A-. Getting in is the hard part.
12 years ago at 2:43 pm^
12 years ago at 3:10 pmNice try bud. The modal grade is an A-. That means it’s the most common grade (out of 9), not the average. Pretty tough stuff if you’re not a stat major though.
12 years ago at 11:51 pm^ Boom.
12 years ago at 11:39 amFuck it I’de go back to undergrad
12 years ago at 2:27 pmIt was probably that Asian kid who made the bomb threat. He just wanted a way to get his degree from prison.
12 years ago at 5:08 pmThis is probably fake, and based on the movie “Making the Grade” from 1984
