Just where does this level of entitlement come from? According to little Suzy, her failure to get into top colleges is due to her lack of racial diversity, failure to start a "fake charity," and her neglectful parents.
"For starters, had I known two years ago what I know now, I would have gladly worn a headdress to school. . . . . I also probably should have started a fake charity . . . As the youngest of four daughters, I noticed long ago that my parents gave up on parenting me . . .I should've done what I knew was best—go to Africa, scoop up some suffering child, take a few pictures, and write my essays about how spending that afternoon with Kinto changed my life." Suzy Lee Weiss: To (All) the Colleges That Rejected Me - WSJ.com
She certainly has a future as the next Anne Coulter.
While she is certainly whining, she is correct about the race and volunteering would have helped her admission chances.
It's Ok Dale, just another example of how liberals can't tell the difference between real accomplishments and made up "accomplishments". Remember those are the same people who think Obama is the greatest president ever.
Obama is the greatest president ever, so, what exactly is your point??
Oh, so now you believe that education equals brains? Interesting!!!!
According to your logic, Maddow is brilliant, especially in comparison to Coulter's educational background that while good certainly falls short of Stanford and Cambridge:
"Rachel Maddow attended Stanford University. While a freshman, she was outed by the college newspaper when an interview with her was published by the student newspaper before she could tell her parents.[18] Maddow earned a degree in public policy at Stanford in 1994.[19] At graduation she was awarded the John Gardner Fellowship.[20] She was also the recipient of a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford. . . . In 2001, she earned a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) in politics at Oxford University.[23] Her thesis is titled HIV/AIDS and Health Care Reform in British and American Prisons and her supervisor was Dr. Lucia Zedner." Rachel Maddow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Who would have thought that Dale would come out as a closet Maddow supporter.
The piece is SATIRE. She's making fun of the college admissions process, and the crazy things students go through to get into an ivy league school. Lots of the things she mentioned are take offs on popular wisdom about what you have to do to be attractive to an Ivy League school. It's a joke....
I have lots of brilliant friends who have no grasp of reality simply because of lack of real world experience.
You can sit and pontificate all you want. But until you are in the trenches, you have no effin' clue how the real world works or how policy translates into reality.

Lamenting the fact that she was rejected from multiple Ivies, she sits down and writes a piece that ridicules what it takes to get into the schools that she was dying to get into, schools that others do in fact get into?
Yeah, you are a lot more generous in your reading of her motives than I. Her ridicule is sour-grapes born of entitlement, not good satire.
Smart does not equal integrity. Or competence. I bet Obama is really smart.
He is still an incompetent jackass.
One cannot be both smart AND an incompetent jackass. The two are mutually exclusive. So... just give the man his props already, it won't kill you.
