How I Got Into College

(1989)Directed by Savage Steve Holland86 min · PG-13Comedy, Romance
“A horror story so intense, so barbaric, so frightening it will have you running for your local army recruiter.”

In 1989, high school senior Marlon Browne (Corey Parker) is hopelessly smitten with his overachieving classmate Jessica Kailo (Lara Flynn Boyle). Her top choice is Ramsey College, which takes almost no one, and Marlon's grades are nowhere near good enough. Savage Steve Holland sends him after the SATs and an admissions committee, with Jessica's attention as the only prize he's after.
