[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today she says the article was satire. The fact that the satire was not obvious to, well anyone, is pretty much the final word on whether the schools made the right decision on her application.[/quote]Once I reread it, I caught what I gathered was supposed to be irony. I think it's a hard call. Nice that at the end she made fun of herself (going off to watch Real Housewives) but some of the so-called satire plays into ethnic stereotypes. I don't see her making fun of herself for throwing around stereotypes. Although I have said some harsh things on this thread, I suppose we should cut her a break. She's very young. But I also see no need to praise her. She is a young woman who apparently has had a lot of advantages in life and is going to attend an elite public university. I know lots of kids who would be delighted to be in her position. She is not owed a spot in the Ivy League and she still needs to work on her writing skills.[/quote]
