Azalin Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 she's a bright kid....very self-assured and an excellent sense of humor.
IDBillzFan Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 she's a bright kid....very self-assured and an excellent sense of humor. I agree. She wrote a great article. Unfortunately for her, the reference to "two moms" and "spending that afternoon with Kinto" will undoubtedly lead the liberal blogosphere to rip her to shreds as privileged, racist white trash.
B-Large Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I don't want to brag, but I was accepted at Canisius College and pulled down a 2.8... I am what they call "street smart"
Meathead Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 so an average kid with no special skills and an apparently huge lack of self awareness doesnt get into elite schools with extremely limited enrollment shocking
IDBillzFan Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 So a progres so an average kid with no special skills and an apparently huge lack of self awareness doesnt get into elite schools with extremely limited enrollment shocking So a progressive sees a white girl with a 4.5 GPA, 2120 SAT score, service as a Senate aid and published in the Wall Street Journal and calls her an average kid with no special skills... shocking.

This girl is a badass. I think most of us would be bitter getting rejected from any school while toting the 4.5 GPA. On the second link she seems to be a little more reckless with her speech though. Funny stuff. Just shoot for valedictorian of Penn St/Mich/Indiana or the 10 or so other schools that did accept ya.
DC Tom Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 ...is being praised by supporters and slammed by critics. Yeah, no ****. By definition.

OCinBuffalo Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Hmm. Michigan, Penn Sate, Indiana and Wisconsin. If she graduates from the engineering school at any of them, she is virtually guaranteed a job at the big management consulting firms. Not as much with the Ivy schools as those people aren't usually the right material for the job. Not to mention the fact that pretty much any engineering outfit in the world that is worth a damn spends big $ every year recruiting at those schools. The comments under the WSJ article are hilarious. You can basically tell the people from the useless "professions", because they keep saying she's done irreparable damage to herself Yeah, if she was looking to be head of the women's studies department at Brown someday, she's in trouble. But that is a loser's job, so who cares? McDonald's employees benefit society more. If she's looking to make some real money, "like people" , not live off the government, and do something that is actually useful to society? Nobody in corporate America is going to pass on this chick. Hell, the article will give her a leg up if anything. The wit, and especially the references to various events/memes, of the article alone tells me plenty. Edited April 6, 2013 by OCinBuffalo

OCinBuffalo Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 ... and ron paul and poppy and ronnie man am i committed to this charade or what Yes, but did you really understand why you were voting for them, or, did you just hear about them from the chain smoking, cutoff jean jacket-wearing, short haircut weezer who you met one day who called you a: "a shallow, conformist piece of crap" when you told him you were a Democrat?
