Oxford grad, Harvard student - doesn't wear a mask in public? Am I missing smthn???
I think she did a video saying she’d had COVID so maybe thinks she’s safe now?Oxford grad, Harvard student - doesn't wear a mask in public? Am I missing smthn???
Tell me someone told her that's not guaranteed?I think she did a video saying she’d had COVID so maybe thinks she’s safe now?
How can somebody who attends Oxford and is so intelligent also lack basic common sense?I think she did a video saying she’d had COVID so maybe thinks she’s safe now?
You'd think with a following the size she has, she'd fact check before doing stupid things on the internet.How can somebody who attends Oxford and is so intelligent also lack basic common sense?
Nope, and no one has asked her in the comments either. Fair enough if she wants to travel, but don't promote it to your followers like it's okay.She is in France-- did she say why? I’ve not been watching her stories but saw she’s in Nice?
These are all really good points. She’s obviously a hard worker and she’s been given some good opportunities as well but yeah the constant idolising is annoying. The foundation year was a massive help to her and I imagine it’s almost exclusively her SM work that’s got her on to her degree at Harvard.It won't let me quote you but in reply to n8459:
I often think she isn't that intelligent at all when I'm watching her (at least academically).
She got B's and C's in her A levels, then onto the foundation scheme at Oxford when a place popped up at the last minute. Then she got into Oxford from the foundation scheme (much easier than regular application) for classical archaeology, which is one of the least competitive degrees at Oxford (they interview 90% of applicants, https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/und...ing/classical-archaeology-and-ancient-history ).
Then she got into Harvard for a Masters from the Graduate School or Education, which is the least competitive department in Harvard (54% of applicants get offers, https://www.petersons.com/graduate-...sters-programs-in-education-000_10035777.aspx ). I would guess that because it's so unrelated to her undergraduate degree, she got in mainly off the back of her social media work.
I'm not trying to say that she can't be proud of these things. And the Masters seems to be a really good fit. But I think people often go 'Oh! Oxford AND Harvard! She's so smart!' without realizing that going to a generic Russell Group uni for undergrad and then postgrad is a similar level of competitiveness (if not more so, for postgrad) to the courses she's applied to.
I always thought she was quite down to earth and not a middle class twit. Now she’s perpetuating the idea that anyone can “work hard” and earn 26k wtf, she’s definitely changed and lost where she came from. YouTube clearly changes peopleno way would someone her age working a minimum wage job be able to do something like that. she's acting like all she did was 'work hard!' but she's in such a privileged position
Just a correction : She just got BsIt won't let me quote you but in reply to n8459:

Ok, my bad, B's then. But when in 2016 25.8% of A levels were graded at A or above, that means that by getting B's she's not even in the top quarter for any subject...Just a correction : She just got Bs
