An Interesting College Applicant

An Interesting College Applicant December 29 Malia Obama will gain admission to every college to which she applies. Without question. Malia Obama is certainly an interesting college applicant to say the least. Shell soon be applying to highly selective colleges. And, make no mistake, these colleges will be clamoring for her. They want to be the school that landed the daughter of the sitting President of the United States. Weve never seen Malias SAT or ACT scores. Weve never seen her grades. But we hear that shes considering Stanford and UC Berkeley. Her mother and father both attended Harvard Law, of course, but  she is a legacy at Princeton, her mothers alma mater, and Columbia, her fathers alma mater. In the case of Malia Obama, though, legacy status simply doesnt matter as she seeks admission to these top schools. And neither does the fact that she is an underrepresented minority. All that matters isshes Malia Obama. Its as simple as that. Apparently Malia wants to be a filmmaker. Many aspiring filmmakers choose to apply to New York University or the University of Southern California. We always think this is ridiculous. After all, you dont need to major in film to direct movies. You can major in biology and still make movies. The best education in filmmaking you can receive is by working under top notch directors, by making movies of your own. You dont need to go to USC or NYU to make movies, even though these two institutions happen to have very respected film and television programs. What do you think Malia will write about in her Common Application Personal Statement? Wed be curious to know. But make no mistake, no matter what Malia writes about, she is one of the rare cases where it just wont matter. Malia will gain admission no matter where she applies. We know little about her, but shes probably quite smart based on the fact that shes been raised by two very smart individuals. And theres the fact that shesthe daughter of the American president. She has no reason to worry about the college admissions process. Malia is set.
