I hate to agree with Furd on anything but I'm with them here. The applicant has shown incredible bravery and other wonderful traits but that does not necessarily mean she has the chops to cut it academically.

I'm outraged, too. I also can't believe they made Jared Goff take the SATs.

If she can't play linebacker, I don't want her.

What I want to know is, why some chick from Pakistan is zeroing in on Stanford as the US school she wants to attend. Are our recruitment efforts in Pakistan that weak? Why would she want to go to Stanford if her goal is to be in politics. Wouldn't Harvard be the place to go?

I get the humor but the truth is there. I mean Stanford? Really? This has silicon valley, vc cache written all over it. Laughable but hey whatever she's a Nobel laureate and walks on water right? Haha not.

Well, to be fair...Pakistani politicians graduating from Cal don't have the best track record.

Honestly, this is the problem with college admissions in the modern university - a complete lack of perspective and obsession for the trivial over the big picture.

Stanford - which claims to want only the most exceptional people and to strive for diversity - is requiring the SAT from a woman who has accomplished more in the real world than any other Furd student, all of the admissions staff, and most of the faculty. What light could her SAT score possibly shed on her admission qualifications? Either you want her for her unique life experience, leadership skills, and the symbolism of her message, or you don't.

This is just furd grandstanding. Her admission is a foregone conclusion - just like it was for Chelsea Clinton, Tiger Woods, Reese Witherspon, Fred Savage, and the other celebrities that have attended there with what I suspect were lower than typical academic qualifications.

We should have told her that if she went to Cal, as a Nobel Laureate, she could be the first freshman with her own personal parking space on campus.

We should just take Furd's endowment and use it to install her as Prez of the middle east.

Okay ... TRUTH
KindaSleazy Rice doesn't want her anywhere around furd ... the contrast between deeds and accomplishments is too fierce.
Maybe KindaSleazy is preparing a special "apple" for her to take a bite ...

HEY ... that money is for the oppressed 1% kids to offset all the crap their parents take for having 8-10 figure net worths.
