[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, 23rd in her Texas class of 600 makes her a dime a dozen in a nation of 350 million people. She was just used by the right wing hacks at WSJ. State universities are full of grinds like her. One of my very smart sorority sisters at my state university was an accounting major with the same stats. Her dad was a successful CPA. She finished her bachelor's and master's with a 3.9 GPA. This WSJ girl should have applied to the honors program at her dad's University of Oklahoma alma mater as well as UT and A&M and gone to whichever gave her the most merit (if any). I personally think she is a fool for turning down UT-Austin. But ASU is a fine school and if the scholarship is generous, why not.[/quote] UT Austin is good but accounting is a better major than Econ (outside of tippy top schools) for job purposes. She did not get into accounting at UT and UT was probably going to be $100,000+ versus free at ASU. [/quote]
