My husband graduated from Harvard and interviews applicants as an alumni. I would be very interested to see her extracurricular activities. There are a lot of students with high grades and SAT scores, so to whittle the applicants out they look at extracurricular activities. You have to be an all star at something. When I mean all star- Yo Yo Ma and Bill Gates were in my husbands class.My husband received a very very distinguished award in high school, and that is how he got in. What did Malia do?
To her credit, Malia probably wasn’t allowed to do much. Let’s say she wanted to go on archaeological digs or compete to nationals at a sport. She may not have been allowed, for security reasons. Gotta give her that.
But I do wonder if she stood out academically or only politically. I hope she is smart and capable.
