[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and nobody here understands the gift of satire...what were you doing in your english classes anyways???

Rock on girl, go to state universities that really want you! ! ! ! ![/quote]

Please.  I was a literature major - this girl is no Voltaire or Swift.  [/quote]

Your post reminds me of the scene in Sex and the City where Carrie gets caught making out with some boyfriend in a dressing room at Banana Republic.  The salesdude who catches her sneers "Please -- this is not the Gap."

Oh, back to the thread -- I worked in college admissions and have gone through the college process with 2 kids.  I read the letter and watched Weiss on Today.  She's dealing with rejection in a healthy way and seems pretty down-to-earth about her 15 minutes.  My prediction: Lena Dunham will scoop her up to play her younger, more successful, adorable and perky cousin on Season 3 of "Girls".[/quote]
LOL.  
These people who don't get it. . . .  [/quote]

And her character will have an internship at the WSJ, write a piece about Marnie's tech-mogul boyfriend and seduce him.  [/quote]

And the sex tape will circulate on the internet and, once again, she'll be notorious for all the wrong reasons.

Look, you can have opinions on her writing ability that differ from your opinions on her message. I think she's a decent writer for 17. But her message stinks. Her message is basically, "affirmative action and my parents let me down." When in fact it's pretty clear she comes from a family that knows all about what it takes to get into a super-competitive university. Suzy just couldn't bother to do everything her older sister Bari did to make the Ivy acceptances happen. [/quote]
