Wait-listed at Harvard, Grace Oberhofer of Tacoma sings her plea to the admissions staff.
An excerpt:
Harvard you mean the world to me
On John Harvard’s statue I’d never pee
Harvard I utter my primal scream
Let me in to your community
I wonder whether admissions folks see this sort of thing as a smart move — or just a stunt. It has 5,500 views at this stage after some national publicity, so you tell me.
