[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who is obsessed with defending the Duke commencement speaker - despite your certainty about her upbringing based on her name alone, there's zero way this woman was raised in extreme poverty. Just look at her LinkedIn - the private school she attended in Pakistan has educated multiple prime ministers and presidents of the country; she then went to several post-HS private schools, including a $65k boarding school in the US. As an academic who's worked with a lot of international students, I guarantee you that she comes from a very privileged background.[/quote]

Lol. You are an uninformed fool. You think a highly privileged international student will be given a  $70+k a year scholarship to attend Duke? Grow up. And I am not defending what she did. I have no dog in that fight. I'm only saying that there is a very very very high probability that she is not even in the vicinity of being privileged[/quote]

Yes, because this lays the foundation for attracting more students from her school who will be full-pay+

Not a secret in college admissions [/quote]
