quite ironic given she was the dean of admissions...
She was one of the few voices of empathy in terms of pressure that kids face. Perhaps because of the guilt of living with this lie.....
Impressive that she starts as an administrative assistant and makes it to Dean... and then to find out no one ever checked her background, she's lucky to have gotten as far as she did.
or prehaps it was because MIT had so many suicides
I am from RPI..the college that she actually attended for a couple of years (no degree of course).
Mit is nice but too much tech minded area doesn't always beat the business-oriented minds. They are the true greats. John D Rock, Andrew Carn, etc
