The author is an MIT humanities major and a blogger for admissions (don't ask me why either one is worth having at MIT!), not an actual admissions officer. I know all of their admissions officers, and none of them are obviously freaks or agenda-driven leftists.
And yet someone out there didn't get a spot in the class of '18 so that this thing could get a degree in her genitalia. Speaks poorly of admissions.
It also speaks poorly of Tech Review that something like this is published to the world displaying what MIT is about.
