Malcolm is confident he will be admitted to his dream school, Harvard, on the strength of his SAT scores and "straight-A" grades, but his counselor Mr. Bailey chides him for his presumptive attitude. He calls Malcolm arrogant for thinking that Harvard would find his grades impressive, since their school is in a run-down L.A. suburb, and forcefully suggests he take the process more seriously, starting with his upcoming "alumni interview" with local banker named Austin Jacoby. |
