These days getting into a good college is like trying to get into the most exclusive club in town, except the bouncer is the board of admissions and instead of checking ID’s they’re checking over highly detailed applications.

It takes hard work and a lot of dedication to get into a good college.

Students put their whole entire academic career on display just to get it thrown back in their faces with a big fat rejection letter smacked on top.  So when these highly coveted spots are given away like samples at Costco to undeserving celebrities, students have the right to be angry.

Especially when one of those spots goes to a 38-year-old retired supermodel. That’s right Tyra Banks is officially a student at Harvard’s highly selective Business School. Harvard’s Business school is so selective that only 12 percent of their applicants were admitted this year, according to the Harvard Business School website.

Of the thousands of people who apply to Harvard every year, why Tyra? What has Tyra contributed to the world besides lacy lingerie, a mildly entertaining wannabe Oprah show, and enough Top Model marathons to last a lifetime?

Is it fair that, for us normal non-celebrity human beings, we have to work our butts off to get into college while these celebrities seem to get in with a ridiculous amount of ease.

Tyra Banks is not the only celebrity that has benefited from these perks. Look at James Franco. Although a great actor, Franco has attended Yale, NYU, Columbia, and UCLA There are many videos and pictures all over the Internet of Franco sleeping in class.  His fellow classmates have even made a game out of tweeting how many times they can spot Franco dozing off in the library.

An even more undeserving pair of celebrities is the Olsen twins.

After graduating high school the twins announced they would be attending NYU.  But after attending one year, both of them dropped out.  Ashely to move back to California to pursue her non-existent acting career, and Mary-Kate headed for rehab, leaving behind two wasted spots.

Especially since every year it becomes harder and harder to get into college.  This spring 3.32 million students are graduating from high school.  According to the U.S. Department of Education, this is the largest amount of high school graduates our country has ever seen.

With competition like that, every spot matters. Do those spots really deserve to go to go to an actor who sleeps in class or a retired-supermodel-turned TV-host?  The answer to that is simple: absolutely not.
