Blog Round-up: Admissions Video
New York Times: “Many fans of Disney’s ‘High School Musical’ franchise are now old enough to apply to college.”
Gawker: “Most of the kids who go to Yale are shoe-polished relics from the 1950s. Well, OK, that’s not exactly true. But they are total dweebs.” / “What I want to know most of all, though, is: Why? Is Yale really that hard-up for strong students that they need to produce the most elaborate propaganda film since Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Williams?”
Washington Post: “The admissions office had retired its previous recruitment video, which was professionally filmed nearly a decade ago and features in-line skaters, students in baggy T-shirts and two people who have since died.”
Ivygate: “The YDN says that of 60 students attending a premiere Thursday night, 13 had ‘overwhelmingly positive responses.’ I assume the other 47 were unavailable for comment, having strangled themselves with a belt, slit their wrist (sic) with the broken shards of an iPod Touch, or otherwise acted out the first scene from ‘The Happening.’”
TrueSlant: “Not surprisingly, IvyGate took a sizable diarrhea all over this thing.”
