Writersoul: It’s not a point in her favor because she turned Harvard down! You do not write on your resume “I got into Harvard but I cordially declined their invitation” lol. getting in means very little- you have to actually go!
If a frum girl decides to not go to harvard means she did lose something- good job opportunities and top-rate professors and fellow students. That is quite a loss. And why would you pay 200 dollars to get a self-esteem boost? Sounds silly to me.
