Analysis was done, IIRK, that said Obama’s ‘successful’ book (DReams of my father?) was very much in Ayers’ style.
Bingo to that, assuming that summer labors are not contributing to the 9 mo. expenses.
I had one kid graduate a semester early.
Hollywood?
Not if you really have access to Bammy’s $ta$h.
Most kids that are “brilliant” are smart enough to steer clear of NYC. The place is a vexation to one’s spirit.
I haven’t heard any of this but you never know. Maybe she can teach her mom (dad) how to walk like a lady.
Especially the off-campus environment.
“Those with high ideals can’t just forget or pretend that they don’t.”
Do you think I am suggesting otherwise?
A handful of schools (HYP in particular) have such big endowments that many students go there without paying much and without taking loans.
Actually, MIT has been actively recruiting women to apply for several years. With decent but not great SATs, she probably would’ve gotten in.
