Yeah, an OPPD is one of many factors that has made me fairly conservative…an idiom not oft found in conjunction with my name…in estimating “chances.”

Someone…it may have been the ubiquitous Mini…pointed out later that a lot of Yale’s admissions are predicated on who they think will emerge as a leader in society later. Certainly there was nothing in D’s profile to suggest good odds of that compared to many other students. I also came to understand that she was in the “wrong” economic strata for good odds of admission. My naivete burbles to the surface ever always.
