      One, examples from 20+ years ago tell us nothing. Two, my experience with her does not argue for trusting her mere say-so.

      Dan, she was literally the director of admissions. Having actually interacted with her in person, trust me.

      She's also a hard-shell partisan, which raises all sorts of questions about the fairness of any process she oversaw.

      Uh, Dan. When I've made that argument about things you've *written* where I distrust your motives, you've been incensed. You're making that same argument with no evidence, based purely on the deduction that a partisan not of your party is therefore incapable of professionalism.

      I'm just saying that every experience I've had with her, she's been a dishonest, partisan hack. That makes me less likely to trust her word without supporting evidence.

      I don’t recall having any interactions with you, but tbh you don’t seem very bright. I’m sorry you didn’t get into Yale, it’s a high bar. But I was a good friend to Fed Soc, as anyone who was there at the time will tell you. Sorry you couldn’t make the cut ✌🏽

      This is exactly the sort of response I would have expected, and illustrates my point.

      Be honest: Did you apply to Yale and get rejected? (This would obviously be before my time) If so, you have a personal interest in rationalizing that outcome, amirite?

      I am very happy, looking back, to have gone to Harvard. Have never regretted it. (I was wait-listed at Yale, may have chosen HLS anyway). But I recognize that you are one of that odd sort who see going to Harvard Law as proof of some sort of inferiority. Cramped way to live.

      Harvard is an excellent law school. But your imputation that I think it’s “inferior” (based on what?) gives away your own insecurity and projection about not having gotten into Yale. That might be something you should disclose when you slander the people making decisions there.

      You seem not to have read your own prior tweet in this very thread.

          Every admissions process has its mistakes. It doesn’t mean the education offered is inadequate. See, e.g., University of Pennsylvania.

          My concern is with the how the elite university admissions process today - including but by no means limited to the law schools - has gone downhill from 30 years ago. Your effort at ad hominem is wholly misdirected.
