Penn Blowin' Up NYT
May 31, 2011 at 10:02 am
This weekend marked a high point in Penn media relevance. As if a replay of Denzel's speech on CSPAN wasn't enough, we were mentioned in five (!) different New York Times articles. The rundown:
- A Chinese student got rejected from Columbia ED so her parents paid a "college admissions consulting company" $15,000 to fix her application. Guess where she ended up. How is this legal?
- Being part of the Tennessee Ford family isn't easy, especially when both your parents go to jail. Luckily, this Penn prefrosh overcame a bad situation and rocked the writing world. Yo, come write for us!
- Hookah is bad for you. Like, really bad. Let's use a random Penn kid to illustrate its popularity on campuses.
- It was a great weekend for Penn grad students: an aspiring lawyer wed a potential PhD Saturday and Holy Cross alums with Penn master's degrees got married on Sunday.
