This is my thought.  If she really feels so smothered by her legacy then be brave and do something about it. Will this encourage her to transfer somewhere else, even if it doesn't have the cache of Dartmouth?  Based on how she feels now, it seems like she'll never know what she's earned (putting aside all the advantages she has had in life in general - not just as a Dartmouth admit) versus what her legacy status provided her.  Or will she just continue and repeat the cycle with her own life/family going forward?

I wonder how hard it is for her on campus at school now.  This is a pretty public and rough label to live with and/or live down. I hope it's not too bad.

I do hope she learns some lessons from the negative attention the shade this article earned her.  She's young and privileged. But regardless of that, people her age are spreading their wings and tend to make mistakes because they are still immature, lack perspective, and usually pretty self absorbed too. I hope it's a growing experience.  [/quote]
