she's not still a member of Ivy
I would like to see a member of the administration comment on why this student gets special permission to leave class from professors, when 95% of professors have a policy that you can only miss class if you are ill, and even then only maybe once a semester.
As a musician who has had to give up his now successful band in New York for school, I wonder the unequal graduation requirements that are letting this girl get off easy by speaking to her "understanding" professors about missing class.

Ivy. Heh.
omg, gossip girl! i didn't know. this is awesome! ahh!!!
"when 95% of professors have a policy that you can only miss class if you are ill, and even then only maybe once a semester." I don't know what department you're in, but students miss class all the time in my neck of the woods. Athletes miss classes for games, seniors miss class for job and grad-school interviews, and people in 9am classes oversleep. If you miss class enough your grade will suffer, but if you're willing to take the hit to your GPA (and why should she care what her GPA is? It doesn't matter in her career) then what's to stop you?
great profile elinor.

Loved, LOVED, LOVED reading this article. Thanks Elinor!!!
really enjoyed the profile. Kudos
