Malia Obama to attend Harvard in 2017 after a ‘gap year’
yahoo ^ | May 1, 2016 | Dylan Stableford

President Obama’s eldest daughter, Malia, has made a decision about where she will attend college. And she has chosen Harvard University.

Malia, who is due to graduate from high school next month, will enter Harvard in the fall of 2017, the White House said Sunday. She will take a “gap year” before beginning her freshman year at the Cambridge, Mass., school, the Obamas said.

Malia had visited at least a dozen elite public and private colleges, including Columbia (where President Obama earned his bachelor’s degree), Princeton (where first lady Michelle Obama earned hers), Brown, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, Stanford, Tufts, Berkeley, Barnard and Wesleyan.

She can’t go to school next Fall because mooochelle will be traveling the world with the extended family.

I wonder what she’ll be doing during her “gap year?”

I wonder what her SAT scores are?

Exactly what I was thinking. How much of this was merit (my guess - less than 1%)? How much diversity (maybe 5%)? And how much hero worship for the affirmative action occupant of our White House being the "First Black" (at least 94%)? If I'm wrong, I'd love to see objective evidence that the child of Barack and Michelle somehow developed a high-quality mind.

Certainly just another face accepted at Harvard for good grades and accomplishments.

Not that SAT scores are the measure of someone’s personal worth, but they are relevant to college admissions specifically and claims of high intelligence generally.

Gap years are incredibly stupid.

As they are currently mis-defined, I agree. In some previous decades we would identify a "gap year" as that time after high school when you worked full time and then maybe a part-time job thrown in, just to be able to earn the money for college. That would then be followed by the years of full-time credit hour loads every semester while also working full-time.

I wonder how she got in against such strong competition? It’s not like her father is a 2-term President of the United States who graduated Harvard Law or anything.

“GAP” year? Is that some new way to describe a kid who needs to find themselves before buckling down to work?

Anyway, do you think any President’s child wouldn’t be accepted, even if he/she was a complete dimwit?

Ask Chelsea Clinton. She graduated without attending class...plus she's a dimwit.

You can take liberal arts classes at a tech school.
