Courage & brains. You go, girl!!!

Amazing young lady!!!

Fantastic!

Thank you for sharing. How wonderful!

She truly is one of the greats of our generation. So much admiration for that gal.

Love her! Woot woot woot! =D>

One of the women’s colleges needs to go after her and court her big time, IMO.

You think there are any women’s colleges that aren’t? :wink:

I really do hope she picks some idyllic LAC and doesn’t just “settle” for OxBridge or HYPS.

I think she will go to Oxford.

Good for her!

That would make an awesome college essay.

Meanwhile, the rest of us mortals ain’t getting into Harvard!

I feel like her college choice doesn’t matter too much- I don’t think anyone that wouldn’t want her at their university. Plus, the eyes of the world are focused on her.

I feel like any school she goes to, she’ll naturally gain recognition and such.

She has an offer for PE at Oxford: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/11/malala-yousafzai-study-oxford-university-achieves-aaa-offer/

PPE, that is :slight_smile:

Oh, good for her.

I expect her to choose the UK, and no way should she choose a women’s only college. That would be a terrible message to me.

She’s going to Oxford.

Terrific achievement!

Awesome!

Excellent result!

I had read a few months ago that Stanford was balking at accepting her because she didn’t have an SAT score… I figure if a Nobel Prize can’t get you in then Stanford is getting just too dang picky. They are trying way too hard to win the Lowest Acceptance Rate battle with Harvard.
