Matt and Ryan work, sort of. Ryan notices that Matt is a little distracted. I don't know why Ryan cares about this, since I certainly don't and I'd bet that the majority of the audience doesn't either. Who is Matt? I don't care! Go away! If I wanted to watch a show about young and hungry business people, I'd watch The Apprentice!

"I wish I could admit you all, but enjoy the event!" he says, totally insincerely. Also, way to announce that at the end of the meeting instead of the beginning. ["Also...what? How can they discriminate against students just for attending the same school as whichever one gets in?" -- Wing Chun] Seth and Summer exchange worried looks, and then Summer calls the Brown guy over and asks him what makes a student stand out when applying to Brown. I'm thinking the fact that you have to ask a question like that makes you stand out, although probably not in a good way. "Besides good grades," Seth adds. "And high SAT scores," Summer finishes. Brown Guy says it takes a "hook." Man, those handicapped kids get all the luck! Oh, wait -- he didn't mean a literal hook; he meant...
