Do you agree with Susie? Why or why not? Do you think some of what she said was inappropriate? If so, what? Do you think colleges should strive to create a diverse population, or should they admit applicants based solely on their qualifications? Explain.

I don't agree with Susie. You don't need 2 moms. I think she was inappropriate. You shouldn't have to "come out of the closet" to be accepted to college. I think colleges should admit applicants based solely on their qualifications.
I do agree with her. Colleges have some outrageous expectations, and she was right to say what she did. I think some of what she said is inappropriate, but that's the point of a satire. A satire is meant to make a mockery of something serious. People need to have a sense of humor. And colleges should base applicants solely on their qualifications. If you base your acceptances purely on diversity, the quality of the educated will fall.
I don't agree with Susie. She was just being full of herself. You don't go help the "underprivileged chimps" in Africa to get into college. Colleges should look at qualifications to pick students. If you don't get in you will live. Probably.
I think that she could have been a little less harsh about the volunteers and other things she slammed on. Some of what she said was inappropriate, however, some of what she said had truth to it. When she talked about the kids in Africa and volunteers that help them, she could have been a little less harsh. However, some of the volunteers that do that probably do have dual motive to volunteer. Some people these days are doing things just to beef up their resume, which is wrong. I think the college application process should be a good balance. It should accept applicants mostly based on their qualifications.
Some of the stuff she said was inappropriate. College should strive to create a diverse population. Even if your "slow", some schools should let you in if you meet some of the other qualifications. People should not have to be punished because of their parents life and how they were raised. Money in very tight now of days, so most people are just going to community college. Also, people are doing this because their first choice school did not accept them.
I do agree with Susie because for her to work so hard for so long and get rejected just takes all the strive out of working to do anything. I don't think that what she said was inappropriate I think it was needed to be said. Colleges should create a diverse population but they also should admit applicants that have qualifications that would represent the university in a great way.
I agree with Susie. She said what was on her mind and most of what she spoke is true. Although some of what she said was inappropriate, it still got her point across. I don't think colleges should focus on creating a diverse population. They should only admit applicants based solely on their qualifications.
I agree with Susie to an extent. Colleges do look for more diversity nowadays, but the diverse students accepted probably do have the same qualifications Susie does. The way she worded her piece was inappropriate, but it was the truth behind her harsh words. Colleges should look for diversity, but they shouldn't be so consumed with diversity that they overlook the overqualified applicants like Susie. Colleges should admit on qualifications first and find diverse applicants with high qualifications.
I do agree with Susie. Somethings she said was kind of wrong but that's how she felt. I think if you strive to do something your whole life it should happen. If you work your butt off to get into a school and if you qualify then I think you should at least get accepted.
I agree with Susie. I think she did what she felt right. She needed to blow off some steam so she did it in a humorous way. Colleges should accept students strictly based on their qualities and qualifications. If all of the students come from the same background then so be it. Students who have worked their whole lives and have the exact qualifications shouldn't be denied for any reason.
I agree with Susie for the most part, although I think some things were inappropriate like the "two moms" and the "underprivileged chimps". I think that colleges should admit applicants based on their qualifications.
I agree with Susie because colleges do have outrageous expectations. Some of what she said was inappropriate, but that's typical of a satire. Colleges should have a balance of diversity and qualifications. If you don't get in, you'll live (or not, if you're that desperate or obsessed).
I don't agree with her. She knew if she wanted to go to them colleges she would have to push her self. She should have found out what it took to get into the college she wanted to get into. I just think she should stop complaining because she got offers for great colleges.
I agree with Susie in some ways. She had great grades and a very good GPA. She should have known that colleges, especially the ivy leagues, would be very picky. I think she was expecting to get in to every school she applied to based solely on her grades. I think it's a good thing that colleges strive to create a diverse population. They shouldn't ignore the applicants that have excellent grades and SAT scores though.
I do agree with Susie on some of the points she made. Some of the things she said about volunteering was a little inappropriate. I agree with Susie when she says that colleges should admit applicants based solely of the students qualifications. Colleges should not just chose students to strive for diversity. Susie had great grades and SAT scores and she still was rejected from so many colleges.
Since my sister is a senior, college is a big talk around my house. Scholarships, applications, and resumes come up in many of my family's discussions at dinner. I totally understand what Susie is talking about. Colleges should strive to create a diverse population because the real world is full of diversity. On the other hand, students that work hard and meet the college qualifications should have all the more right to be accepted. Throughout my life I have learned that life is unfair and that whatever is meant to be will be.
I understand where she is coming from..my sister is in college and there was a big ordeal about different colleges out there. To me she did go a little to far on somethings but the rest of them were Okay. Colleges should make its campus a diverse population everyone deserves a try at something.
To a degree I agree with Susie, but I don't mind how things are. I think schools are not solely basing their decision on grades, but also on extracurricular activities. I'm okay with they way school are choosing because it gives people that don't have great grades a chance. Some people may not have good grades because of their first years in high school, but now they work really hard and deserve to go to college. I'm glad that I'm done with applying for colleges. It is a very stressful process.
I do agree with her. Schools have some outrageous expectations. Some of the stuff she said was inappropriate, but like she said it was meant as a joke. People should be accepted solely on qualifications. At least she got accepted to some good schools.
I agree with some of what Susie says like what colleges expect of people. With her grades and SAT scored I think that she should have been accepted. I think what she said about volunteer work is was inappropriate but I'm sure some people do fake some volunteer work as well as other stuff on their resume. I think colleges should strive to create more diversity because the world is full of it.
I completely agree with Susie. Colleges make it ridiculously hard to get into. I honestly don't think her statements were inappropriate, it's not like they aren't true. Exaggerated? Yes. But they're true. Television shows say worse things than that and people don't complain about them. If you don't like what she has to say, then don't read her article. It's that simple.
This is very true! You have to be a certain ethnicity or gender. You are completely judged when colleges look at you. If you have parents who are together and aren't an ethnicity you aren't even looked at, you would have to pay full price everything with no help from scholarships.
I think some of the stuff she said is inappropriate. She didnt need to say some of the things she did say. I do think colleges try to create a diverse population.
I agree with Susie in some of the points she made. She was innapropriate in some of the things she said. I think it is good to create a diverse population but dont ignore students who work hard since they were young to meet the college qualifications.
I do not agree. Yes. Some of what she said was inappropriate. I think the part about chimps in Africa was inappropriate. i do not think that colleges should strive to create a diverse population, admit on qualifications.
I can completely understand where Susie is coming fro. It's really sad how the college admissions process has become. I hate to say this, but if you aren't a minority, and your parents aren't divorced, good luck getting into any very competitive schools. Also, the scholarships are limited for people that fit that standard. It's very sad that colleges and scholarship foundations only like to reward people who they feel they should feel pity for. Rather, they should be going after the people who have worked hard for it. It angers me that this is how things are, considering I'm in the process of applying for scholarships now.

I haven't really thought about going to college yet. I probably should though. I do agree with what Susie said.

I don't agree with her. She sounds like an idiot. What she said was stupid. Community colleges should strive for diversity.
