I was admitted to the Univ. of Chicago in 1974 without having ever seen the place or having had an interview. I don't remember any of my friends visiting colleges the way high school students do today, and neither my brother or I interviewed for undergraduate admissions.
Interesting.
Stanley Ann Dunham was also accepted to attend the U of Chicago, according to 'Dreams' - her Uncle, Madelyn's brother, Charles T Payne was Deputy Director of the Library...and obama taught law at the U of Chicago...before Charles T Payne retired.
makes one wonder...
