Where do you think Malia Obama will enroll?

She will attend a public institution in order to qualify for the DC Tuition Assistance Grant (DCTAG). It was designed to keep upper middle class families in DC.

I think Columbia . She was in NYC this summer. Dad went to Columbia. NYC is great.

Or maybe NYU. I could also see brown.

Is where she is applying public? I'd assume not. I know there was news of her touring this Summer.... Where was she?

NYU? No way. She has many more attractive options.

Stanford or Harvard, in that order. I'll leave it at that.

Who cares, she'll probably end up going to a fantastic school, get a great education then just like Chelsea Clinton end up mooching at her dad's 'foundation.'

Then I guess it will be Stanford. She can get in anywhere.

I love these "insider" reports presumably from parents at Sidwell. No one knows my kid's top choices, and I'm a giant nobody. I sincerely doubt that someone with enough access to this student's decision-making process to legitimately know her top choices would be so indiscreet as to blab them on an internet message board. If anything, I would assume that names like Stanford and Harvard had been leaked out to throw message board gossip types off the track.

I'll leave it at that.

To my reading, the gratuitous "I'll leave it at that" implies the poster is privy to inside information that supports her claim, but that she is not disclosing it.

I wonder if caltech would take her if she was interested but didn't have the chops for it or if they would reject her just to say that they did for even more publicity.

I think Caltech is too classy for that and would dissuade her since they know her interest lies in media. My DC is an excellent student with highly competitive scores and grades. If DC applied to Caltech wanting to major in finance and minor in engineering, though Caltech would be very impressed with the resume, I doubt they would accept DC and probably not even wait list.

The Sidwell kids who know her well, are very protective of her privacy, and certainly they or their parents would not be posting it on DCUM.
