Did you have to go to Chicago for and entrance interview at UC? I was admitted there and I never went for an interview. Of course my parents wouldn’t hear of me going to Chicago for anything, but I know I never went for an interview. I was admitted to lots of colleges in my day, and I never interviewed with any of them. I just showed up at UC Berkeley with money in hand and signed up for classes. The same was true of my children 20 years later when they went to college. Only the oldest had to have an interview at Rice and an audition at University of Texas for the Voice Department, but that was different. After admission, 2 of them went for orientation, but that was different.

Don't know. There is no evidence one way or the other. Her uncle lived in Chicago, and there is speculation on the Long Thread, that she might have stayed with him during time of the interview, and perhaps met MX on that visit.

Check out the link at #9,062, also.

Here is another tidbit found reading various web pages:

There are many holes in the marriage story starting with the fact that under Hawaii law any female under 18 must have the written consent of BOTH parents -- and the Obama story states that Ann and Obama Sr. ran off without the consent of the family.

I don't understand the importance of this bit of info unless it is to say that Stanley Ann couldn't have gotten married when she first got got pregnant because she was too young to marry without her parents' consent. She didn't turn 18 until November 29 1960. (DOB: 11-29-42) She married in Feb. 1961 and she wouldn't have been showing yet.

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.
