well, if you're offer is rescinded because of fraud, then you're trespassing. and you want a cop to keep things safe. just the presence of police makes it easier


Umm. If she was a danger. That’s why.

It could just as easily be a CYA precaution, to make sure it happens immediately, and without fuss or escalation. Like having a security guard escort a fired employee from the building. Doesn't necessarily mean they've show previous propensity for violence, it's just routine.

But if she tried to retaliate for being ratted out, or left with some of the suitemates' belongings, that could leave the school open to even more liability.

They were backpedaling, and FAST.

No, no prostitution. I have a kid at Yale. More a story of suite mates who spent a month with someone and decided, nope. And sent it up the chain.

I think the entire college process is vulnerable to this. The one thing that surprises me is at Yale there's an evaluative interview process for most (not all) and that would be hard to pull off as say a 30-year old woman from china with mental health issues


It’s weird all of the sexual stuff was included then. If that was not accurate nor the basis for some of the university’s actions, then it’s dangerously close to defamatory.


My impression was that her stated intention to bring random online dudes into the suite for her "sexual stuff" was the last straw.

It was mentioned because that's what led the suite mates to escalate up the chain far enough that someone in power spotted the fraud.

according to my kid, the sexual stuff was all talk. but there was a lot of weird day to day, non-sexual behavior that was "off".

It makes me wonder if her sexual preferences were a source of income. Maybe she was attempting to pimp out her roommates. That would explain why they were asked about their wellbeing.


Read between the lines in the Yale article.

1. She was escorted off campus with no warning, immediate effect, publicly.

2. Her roommates were offered counseling resource.

This is not just someone who lied about her state or a few other details in her application. Or faked her essays or transcript. She was involved in some kind of prostitution situation and pretty nasty ones, and Yale got wind of it and removed her ASAP.

I will say there is a book waiting to be written about this young woman.


Nah, I think they just found out about her and that was that. She wasn't pimping anyone out. She was acting weird enough that the suite mates talked to their RA and it went to Davenport head who looked at file, took it to the higher ups, etc. Good on Yale for not hushing it up. She was escorting out in front of all. Pretty sure the suite mates won't need counseling, happy to have the room back and an empty bunk

I have a freshman at Yale. For added hilarity, she was in same entry (door) as the Housewives daughter. Sorry, dont know her name or Housewifes lingo


What is a Housewives daughter?


She's on Real Housewives of something of other. The daughter is a freshman in same college/dorm as my son and this person. Not same suite - I dont think!


You sound absolutely ridiculous. A Google search of "Real Housewives daughter Yale" pulls up the housewife's name and the kid's name. Yet you know so little about it (ok, I'll call this part minimally credible) that all you can say is, "Sorry, dont know her name or Housewifes lingo" but when asked for clarification you say, "She's on Real Housewives of something of other." You clearly knew who this was OR you would have looked it up when asked for clarification. But saying, "yeah, housewives something or other" and "don't know the housewives' lingo" - you are trying to sound like you don't know but clearly you do.

Grow up.


What? NP. Maybe she didn’t feel like googling it. I knew only as much as PP—a Real Housewives kid goes to Yale. But not which franchise specifically—since I don’t watch any of them, the details are meaningless to me.


Sure, believable she didn’t know when she first posted but when someone else said “who,” she’d google it and answer or ignore. She knew..but pretended she had no idea. Dumb

Did she have an accent? If not - it means that at least she went to an American high school. And it actually might have been in ND.

I work in real estate and the last step in evictions is calling a sheriff to the property to be present while another party hired by the landlord moves things out. The sheriff is there just to "keep the peace" but it does not mean that there's any kind of criminal activity or charge or actual danger involved. The sheriff's row is limited and the landlord needs to post a "sheriff's bond" in advance.

Kids learning English abroad often learn it in an American accent. I made this assumption too until living abroad and ran into kids at DD’s school whom I assumed were also American based on their accents. I suspect it has to do with how dominant music and American film are as well.

Goes to show what a sham the whole admission process is.

Nothing to do with music or films - but the teacher. If the teacher speaks with a US accent, that is the accent in which you learn the language.

This is the kind of juicy and totally irrelevant gossip you get when you interview the roommates.


It is always critical to interview the roommates.

I feel like that was probably what did it though right? Don’t you think these freshmen told their parents and the parents reported it??

I have no personal knowledge whatsoever about this situation. However, googling indicates that Yale doesn't have an active alumni association in North Dakota.https://alumni.yale.edu/groups/regional-clubs/yale-club-north-dakota I think alumni are the ones who do most of the interviewing. Thus, it is quite possible, if not probable, that if she had an interview it was not in person.

Likely an “and,” not an “or”.

WTF, Yale? I’d be livid if my kid had been put in a suite with this person. 😳


LOL she's hardly the first college girl to go this route. Many girls get to the top schools and want access to the top shelf party scene, which means upgrading their image: $$$ balyage, lash sets, Hermes.


All good. I’d rather not have my 18 yo kid living with her. That’s all.

You don't get to choose who your kid lives with. Living with (or rather, being force to live with) people like this is part of the "college experience"
