An ex-student of the $40,000-a-year Washington DC private school attended by former presidents' children, is suing the institution after she failed to gain unconditional acceptance from 13 top colleges. Dayo Adetu – who attended Sidwell Friends School from 2000 to 2014 – claims in a lawsuit that the school acted against her in college applications, test scores, rankings and recommendations, after she had previously settled for $50,000 in a July 2013 discrimination suit. Adetu's parents Titilayo and Nike Adetu had accused the school of using 'biased, improper scoring' and claimed they accommodated for other students' involvement in athletics but 'steadfastly refused' to do the same for their daughter, mainly when it came to mathematics.

Sometimes a little motivation polishes the gem inside to a brightness that outshines one’s peers.

“She did finally wind up going to University of Pennsylvania...”

From what I’ve heard about Penn, it’s definitely no slouch school. No matter how she got in (strings pulled, skin color, grades, etc), she ought to be content with that.

Penn is the basement of the Ivy League.

Yes, I know. I met some folks who did undergrad with her, married to a postdoc in my graduate advisor’s group.

Metaphoric perfectitude.
