WHO: Micheal Brown, a senior at Mirabeau B. Lamar High School in Houston 
 
 WHAT: Brown was accepted into twenty top universities with full-ride scholarships 
 
 WHY IT’S SO GREAT: It’s harder than ever to get into the country’s most prestigious universities, so the already impressive feat of getting into an Ivy League institution is all the more admirable today.

 While the exceptional senior, who earned a 4.68 GPA at Lamar High School in Houston was praised by many ― from reporters to readers to President Bill Clinton ― a local news team in Washington has come under fire for harshly criticizing the student. During the conversation, Fraser asked Morris and Seymour whether they "think it's a little ridiculous this kid applied to 20 (schools), taking away a spot and basically waitlisting another kid." Fraser then asks whether they thought Brown applying to 20 schools was a "little obnoxious," to which Morris replied "I think it's a little obnoxious because you can only go to one. Michael is awesome and I have learned a lesson. Morris has stood by her position on Twitter and Seymour has not been active on social media since the controversial "Tuesday Talkers" segment, but Fraser tweeted Brown an apology. And—no, just kidding.
– One might think a high school senior called the "best thing in Texas" by Texas Monthly, and who got accepted to 20 colleges—some of which were Ivy Leagues, and all of which offered him a full ride with grants and scholarships—would receive universal praise in the media. But per KSAT, staffers at a DC station seemed annoyed last Tuesday at his avalanche of good news. Podcast host Sarah Fraser asked Fox 5 DC morning co-anchors Holly Morris and Allison Seymour if they thought it was "a little ridiculous" Micheal Brown threw his hat in the ring for 20 schools, which Fraser believes yanked spots away from other teens who'd be waitlisted. Morris agreed it was "ridiculous" and also "obnoxious," because "you can only take one full ride and you are taking a spot from someone else who works really hard." Seymour tried to point out that scholarships from schools Brown eventually turns down—his first choice is Stanford, though with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other esteemed schools in the mix, he hasn't made up his mind yet—will go "back into the pot." HuffPost notes that many online were angered by the journos' takes, with some saying their comments may have been racially motivated, as Brown is black. Fraser has since apologized to Brown (he accepted), calling their remarks "petty" and insisting Brown is "awesome." Morris clarified on Twitter she just believes in a more "targeted search" for colleges; she also conducted a Skype interview with Brown, which he says was "respectful," but he adds he won't give permission for it to air until he gets an apology from the station. "Where's the #humandecency?," he tweeted last week.
