People are jokingly asking USC to consider admitting their very gifted dogs

If people can cheat the system, why not dogs?

Unleash the scholarships!

In the wake of the college admissions scandal that shocked the internet, jokes about the situation have proliferated. The first round consisted of people tweeting out the "old-fashioned" ways they got into college. Now, the dogs want in.

People have begun posting photos of their pets along with their "credentials," asking USC admissions to accept them. (For those who are not steeped in this scandal, actress Lori Louglin allegedly bought her daughter's admission to USC.)

We must say, these are some fetching applicants.

Unless that lotto ticket is a winner worth more than $500,000, you might have to settle for a trip to the doggy park, unfortunately.

While we're sure he studied and got high marks at Good Boy High, what he really needs is some vlogging experience.

You don't need to practice for the petting team! That's what photoshop is for.

You'd think Kratu would be a shoe-in since he's not really interested in completing the courses. He just wants to be seen.

Remy is ready to make a splash on campus.

This dog is very in-vested in her college endeavors.

You could bribe a test proctor to rig your scores and this dog would still come out on top. I mean, just look at him! He's using a calculator! It just adds up.

Even Bobo the horse is ready for a full ride!

Now would be a good time to paws and reflect on what it means to be a college student today.
