Things are finally getting into gear here as we enter the second week of class. I'm sure most everyone else is well past that point, but I'm used to that now after 4 years here. My classes this quarter are gonna be a bitch. There's just no way around it. I've got to make up for the ones I missed in Spain, and so this is when I'm paying for goofing

Oh man, Duke reacted the exact same way, and I was so pissed. The editorial board of our paper even wrote a big thing in support of the administration. They're basically saying, "We know poor kids often can't apply early, and we know that applying early gives you a better chance of getting in, but we don't think that poor kids are being denied a better chance of getting in." Plus, they completely ignore the fact that most kids who apply early are not only rich, but private-school educated and therefore have major access to college prep and pre-college advisement that kids at, say, Hoover or Woodward-Granger don't have. I wish someone at Duke would write an article about it; I would, but unfortunately, I have to study for the LSAT so I can be a capitalist puppet all my life. XOXO.

This is a very well-written article. Even though UM isn't anything like NU or Duke, what you wrote still affected me because I'm surrounded by rich kids that live off their parents' salaries too high for me to even imagine. I'm glad you're writing for the paper!
