Students Are Overjoyed When Classmate Gets Accepted to Cornell University

More from Inside Edition: bit.ly/2bF0iuC
Students at a Louisiana prep school waited patiently for results of a college application and it seems they got the answer they were hoping for. A video of Brendon Gauthier getting his acceptance letter for Cornell University has been viewed millions of times on Facebook. He's a senior at TM Landry College Prep. The owner, Michael Landry, says it's a small school with only about 100 students from grades 1 through 12, but he says all graduates go to 4-year universities. #InsideEdition

[@canescaniaccombo]

~100 students grade 1-12 grade. Thats actually not bad, you get to know everyone at the school and there is no distractions, bad influences.

[@alia7750]

Ess ok. Seniors hanging out with first graders. Cool.

[@canescaniaccombo]

Ali A Obviously you don't do that, im pretty sure the older kids with older kids and such. I went to a school where lunch was separated it could be the case there as well.

[@turtleguy3709]

I have 27 students grades k-8 at my school

[@darlinghalifax928]

Lmao if you only knew what was happening in that school 💀

[@GemErien]

@@darlinghalifax928 I just watched videos about that school earlier :

[@rocksjoshua]

In my HS a student got accepted to west point (One of the best military academy's in the country) and the principle announced it on the speakers and the whole school was clapping and chearing for him.

[@sallyjohnson9832]

Joshua Ebanks same happened when a girl got accepted to the Naval Academy at my school.

[@heavisbubbles]

I wish people where as warm and nice hearted as them

[@daddyrabbit835]

"In November 2018, the New York Times published an investigative report that accused T.M. Landry of doctoring transcripts and college applications that in turn, would get a student accepted into Ivy League schools. These tactics worked, and videos of students viewing acceptance letters went viral. The Times article alleged student abuse by the founder and principal, Michael Landry, who reportedly would choke students and force them to kneel before him for hours. According to 2013 court documents obtained by the reporters, Michael Landry pleaded guilty to a count of simple battery and was sentenced to probation and a court-ordered anger management program. Students allege that Mr. Landry told them that he would ruin their chances of acceptance to college if they spoke of the abuse. In an interview with the New York Times, Michael Landry denied the allegations of abuse."

[@KFWP-bc7rp]

This school seems amazing! They only have 100 kids but I think that's great because they all seem like family

[@emmettjuckem]

Writing is my passion it turned out to be an abusive school

[@docokay]

Good Show...he received a full 4 year scholarship! Not debt.

[@fitihab]

I think his interest in in Veterinary Medicine and he will need more than 4 years. But if he continues to shine, he will definitely get more.

[@nishantnuthalapati1640]

wasn't this prep school accused of falsifying applications or something?

[@froggy6496]

Yep

[@NathanielClay]

Yes

[@springsogourne]

Well, since they lied on their applications....hmmm.

[@jessicalee3546]

Good job young man . God bless. And Love the fact that the whole school is so supportive.

[@quincy1612]

[@fiona6318]

This reminds me of when my best friend has been accepted to a really awesome school. I was crying years of joy when we found out she got accepted

[@blah843]

Awesome.

[@13BD]

Beautiful story! I hope this encourages other students to be motivated about their education and never take it for granted.

[@tiffanyrae3486]

so so happy for those kids congratulations good job

[@twes619]

When I got accepted to college, I wasn't excited at the time. I was annoyed when my mom called me and said "great news, you made it in!" I wanted to take a year off like others and "live life"...soooooo glad I didn't. I look back and how dumb I was to not be grateful at the time, however that changed very quickly. I graduated and thanked my mom for making me to go college. R.I.P Mom, I love you!

[@cmrairlines8488]

That aged well…

[@carlshneebly7136]

Good luck. That's as competitive as any Ivy league school.

[@austinhernandez2716]

carl shneebly I know that. I've been studying for many years now though. I study and practice for many hours everyday. I am very confident. I think the problem is that many applicants don't practice enough and underestimate how hard it is to get accepted.

Saving/me he wants to study Veterinary medicine, so he will get a job

[@MsEliteForever]

+Sola Oludare Ah ok...he can land a job. Long as it's not a business degree

[@Kelly-tz3ic]

Sola Oludare however in order to become a vet he has to go to vet school. Most vet schools require a 3.0 GPA and with the difficulty of the animal science program at Cornell it will be difficult.
