...sure the student body's wealth is the admissions office's fault. Poorer people tend not to go to the country's best schools, and applications from the lower income levels may be scarce. But it is about time the College admitted to its elitism and took "socioeconomic" off the list of diversities at Harvard...
...musical score itself, courtesy of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, could be at fault. During the prologue, the orchestra remains just a little bit off beat, but enough to make one sit up and take notice.

And while it would be churlish to fault her expression of her grief for her grandfather, it is just those most powerful and universal emotions that are hardest to bring to life on the page; no 19-year-old author could do more than gesture towards them...
