Accepted is a 2006 American comedy film directed by Steve Pink and written by Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, and Mark Perez. The main plot centers around a group of would-be college freshmen who, after being rejected from all the colleges and universities to which they had applied, proceed to create their own "college".
Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) is a persuasive high-school senior who, among other pranks, creates fake IDs. His gifts do not extend to grades, however, and he receives rejection letters from all of the universities and colleges to which he applies, including those with high acceptance rates. In an attempt to seek approval from his strict father (Mark Derwin), Bartleby creates a fake college, the South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.). He is aided by his best friend, Sherman Schrader III (Jonah Hill), who has been accepted into the prestigious Harmon College, and fellow rejects Rory (Maria Thayer), who failed to get in to Yale University, the only school she applied to, Hands (Columbus Short), who lost his athletic scholarship after an injury, and Glen (Adam Herschman), who got a "0" on the SAT when he neglected to sign his name.
You used to be someone special
But now you're just a piece of wreckage
You used to be somebody
Then you were filled with excitement
Chorus:
You'd die to be accepted
Your ego disappers
Afraid to be rejected
You jumped, closed eyes and ears
You changed your way of talkin'
You razed your pants and your t-shirts
You said you were into the music
You made belive you were real tough
Chorus
You no longer do what you wanna do
You're one of them, that's what you wanna prove
Now you are caught and they're draggin' you down
Draggin' you down
Chorus
