Dearest Eliza and others, Bethany decided that Wellesley was not the school for her and if you have been following Bethany's college journey since the beginning, then you would understand that the whole point of the series is to follow Bethany along HER college journey. We have all been able to read as Bethany comprised a list of schools, received the envelopes in the mail, and then as seen in this column, changed her mind. So yes, this is about her needs and it is most definitely legitimate for her to present and focus on those needs. In fact, another student, junior Andrea Park, is also chronicling her college process. The aim of the series is to provide a face and personality to what has come to be seen as a long and arduous process. Students who are applying to colleges are often complex thinkers who will not simply take the opinion of one prospective student and not look for more information. We would hope that people reading this would think beyond black and white and be able to critically regard all information they recieve. We would also hope that someone such as yourself, who attends a selective school that focuses on education and empowerment through that education, would appreciate a wide array of perspectives, and not immediately become defensive when it's not an opinion you agree with. Free press missy. Get with it.
