Why did comedian Ronny Chieng tell Harvard grads to "destroy AI before it destroys you"? 🤖💥

It sounds like a joke, but it actually highlights the #1 trend happening in elite college admissions right now.

With AI tools making it easier than ever to genericize essays, Ivy League and top-tier admissions officers are actively looking for the exact opposite: brutally authentic, unfiltered human voice.

If your student is relying on ChatGPT to sound "smart," they might actually be blending into the crowd.

We just published a brand new breakdown analyzing Ronny's viral commencement advice, what top-tier admissions officers actually wish you knew about AI, and how your student can stand out this application season.

At graduation ceremonies across the country, speakers are telling students they must master AI to survive. But at Harvard University’s Class Day, comedian and Daily Show host Ronny Chieng took the microphone and gave the exact opposite advice. He looked out at the graduating Class of 2026 and decl...

For high-achieving parents—especially those of us with analytical, tech, or STEM backgrounds—the road to college admissions can feel like an optimization problem. We naturally want to build the perfect inputs to ensure the best possible output:

Top GPA + Perfect SAT + Extracurriculars = Elite University Acceptance

Top-tier universities are noticing a shift: students are arriving on campus with flawless resumes but lacking the fundamental independence, creative critical thinking, and voice needed to truly excel.

Every year, parents and students approach college applications with the same traditional playbook: get the highest GPA possible, stack up extracurriculars, take the SAT, and write a solid essay.

But over the last two years, a quiet tectonic shift has completely fractured the elite college admissions landscape. The traditional playbook is officially broken. Today, the strategy you use to get into a top-tier public university (like a UC school, UVA, or Michigan) is fundamentally different from the strategy required to get into an Ivy League.

🌟 [The Veritas Weekly Edge] SAT Prep & College Strategy: Stop doing the SAT math (manually)! Did you know the Desmos calculator on the digital SAT can solve for variables without you touching a pencil? Also, did you know that you can solve SAT Grammar Questions without reading the passage? Most students struggle to choose between "However" and "Nevertheless." The secret? If two answers mean the same thing, both are wrong. At Veritas, we don't just teach students to read better; we teach them to outsmart the test design. Our 'Copycat Killer' strategy is just one of the 20+ logic hacks we cover in our Summer SAT Intensive.

Is the "Test Optional" era already over? 🛑 For the last three years, it was the biggest trend in college admissions. But the tide is turning. With Ivy League giants like Harvard, Yale, and Brown reinstating SAT/ACT requirements, the data is sending a clear message: standardized tests are back.

Don't get caught off guard. Learn why "Optional" might not mean what you think it does and how to stay ahead of the curve for the 2026 cycle.

🌟 [The Veritas Weekly Edge] Research & College Strategy: Why do 90% of research projects never make it to a journal? Last week, we explored the “Science Fair Trap.” This week, we’re tackling the question we hear most often: How can you tell if your student’s idea is truly original? Too often, students approach summer research like a school assignment; they follow instructions and stop there. But colleges aren’t looking for students who simply complete tasks. They’re looking for curious thinkers who generate their own questions and pursue original lines of inquiry. Use our checklist to evaluate whether your student’s project moves beyond replication and into genuine exploration.
