To answer someone’s question, my number was also in the 100’s. The woman I was helping has a graduate certificate in the field and is actually very smart. Honestly, she should not be living in a bad area and making little money and I really wanted to help her. Like me, she struggled financially after her divorce. She also reminds me of a friend I had decades ago who was smart but poor and I was able to get her a job where I worked at the time. After that friend received the job and was very happy, she died suddenly in a car accident.
Oh I forgot to add, the judges will disqualify anyone with the professional background after they advance to the fourth and final stage so it’s up to the contestants to determine if they want to start or not. I believe professionals are allowed to engage to provide somewhat of a competitive environment, but I’m not sure.
Have you heard that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”?
Ignore the text from your so called ”friend” or simply respond that it sounds unprofessional to send the e-mail like that. Or that you wouldn’t do it if you were her.
Distance yourself from that person.
Stop mothering other people. Read the first sentence.
Truly sorry to say that - but I was in your shoes..until I learned better.
P.S. (Your “friend” might have deserved all that coming her way: the divorce, the lack of money, bad neighborhood - it is even worse that you think she is smart. She sounds vile)
I don't know what ChatGPT is. But it sounds as though you are saying that it's o.k. to cheat because everyone else is doing it.
Maybe the contest organizers felt otherwise.
What I’m saying is that I would not end a friendship over this situation. I wouldn’t ignore a text from her. And I wouldn’t feel hurt over it.
If OP wants to know exactly what I would say/do, then I need a lot more information to be able to determine that. Probably more information than OP wants to share.

Op and her friend were both wrong and neither one has any grounds to whine about the results that they got.
...She was basically questioning the committee, saying that their decisions may be race-based, etc. etc. She told me that she is going to use social media to blast them all, and even started to message other contestants who were rejected and basically spewing these thoughts to them as well.
Sounds a bit like a sore loser.

Funny how life is, you can be friends with someone and think you know them until a certain situation comes up and changes everything. She seems toxic. I guess I would keep my reaction calm and see if the friend calms down and thinks about her actions.

This is a big red flag and reason enough to end this friendship. If not, it is likely that at some point she will go after you this way.
