Emma Watson Gets Accepted Into Yale?

Emma Watson Gets Accepted Into Yale?

Harry Potter starlet Emma Watson goes shopping on Bond Street with some gal pals in London on Friday (February 27).

The 18-year-old British actress, who has been filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was later seen speeding off in her eco-friendly Toyota Prius.

Emma reportedly blogged that she got accepted into Yale, the prestigious Ivy League school located in New Haven, Conn. No word on whether or not Emma will attend, defer or decline Yale.

UPDATE: Emma does not have a Twitter account and is deciding between attending university in the UK or US and “hasn’t accepted any placements at this time.”

#24-it takes more than good grades to get into yale…you have to have one heck of an application to get accepted into yale and that includes more than A’s. Emma Watson isn’t the only person to have straight A’s….there are thousands of other students who achieve straight A’s and ace their exams as well yet they do not get accepted. Nobody here is saying she isn’t smart…..we know she is, but reality is that unless you are a mini genuis you won’t be accepted into Yale at 18 w/o the most impressive application and there are hundreds out there with applications way more impressive than hers. simple as that and thats all we were saying

@ me

How do you know what her application looked like? Not everyone who attended Yale was a “genius”. Angela Basset, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Beal, Paul Newman, David Alan Grier, Jordana Brewster, Henry Winkler, and MANY more have attended Yale University. Are these people geniuses? These people like Emma, had great grades and lovely extra curricular activities.

Some people are lucky. Some people are not. Though, there is no need to diss Emma Watson because you “think” she got in because of her name.

#24 you are a freak,i’m a huge hp fan but i don’t know the personal life of the actors so much…get a life,nerd!!

Emma doesn’t have a blog, and on her main site (which is run by a friend of hers) there is nothing about this news….where is it that you guys got this news??

#28-that’s everyone’s point….those people you listed are celebrities…of course they aren’t genuises. when i said you have to be a genuis or get accepted…i was referring those regular non-celebs who apply. and again….when did i ever diss emma? i said she’s very smart. i just am expressing my own opinion if thats okay which is simply that i don’t believe she would of been accepted as an 18 year old freshman to yale w/o her celeb status. she is very smart…however so are a lot of other people and the competition is very, very tough to get into a school like that. but wherever she goes, i’m sure she’ll do well and do wish her the best.

Tell that riff-raff to stay on her side of the pond.

Ugly brits

@ me

Meryl Streep and the others I’ve mentioned weren’t celebrities when they applied so you don’t really have a point.

JJ, did you get this from a fake twitter: http://twitter.com/mwtsnx?

Is this your source: http://twitter.com/mwtsnx because that’s fake.

congrats emma!
she really deserves it :)
i hope she can have the greatest time there and learn a lot ;)

How do you know she got in SOLELY because of her fame, #14?

And I’m sure she’s not naive or just plain stupid enough to think that her celebrity didn’t have a hand in helping her get in.

You got all that from an expression on her face, #22?

congrats she and danrad
rock

i want to see these doubters get grades like hers while under the hectic regimen of filming five harry potter movies. isn’t being one of the main characters of these blockbusters impressive enough as extra-curricular activities?

Lol Shannon is right,this new isn’t on her site and she hasn’t a blog.SHAME Jared,this new is FAKE.

Good for her just like james Franco going to univrsity is a smart choice it’s nice seeing celebs furthuring there paths although some may say they dont need it I disagree

Trust me, a girl as classy and smart as Emma is not coming to our stinkin’ U.S. to further her studies…my guess is that she’ll stay in Europe, and wisely so. Stay in your comfort-zone Emma, don’t ruin your life by coming here to live and go to college! We are a mess…you are a treasure. Go to Cambridge!!!!!

i don’t see how this is relevant here, nor appropriate.

a) This information actually isn’t on her site, so while I assume she will be accepted to Yale, I don’t think it is official anywhere

b) To the people who think she wouldn’t have gotten in if she wasn’t famous: First of all, she received all As and A*s on the major schooling exams in Britain, which would qualify her grades-wise. Second, of course her being an actress helped- the Ivy Leagues look for people with interesting backgrounds.

Her name really helped.it’s completely obvious.Tony Blair’s son bgot accepted into Yale as well.On a full scholarship, although he wasn’t that good(2:1 which is something like 60-70% or good).PR value.Emma is a smart girl but you can’t deny the publicity stunt here

Stop the hating!
Emma has straight A’s in her A Levels and 8 A’s in her O Levels I believe. And trust me,O and A Levels are HARD. Not like American high school. She is a smart girl who has been attending school while not shooting Harry Potter. You have no idea what her application looked like or what kind of work she put in and cannot simply attribute it to MONEY or CELEBRITY STATUS.

She gave SATs and was relying on their score to get in to American universities. Anyway the news is fake but I think she’ll be able to get in if she get a good score.

GET A LIFE .
DO U KNOW HER ?
HAVE U MET HER ?
HOW DO U KNOW SHE’S NOT SMART .

UGH , U GUYS CAN SUCK IT .

ASK URSELF .
IF U HAVE HER FACE , HER BRAIN , HER TALENT AND HER MONEY , WOULD U GO TO SCHOOL . U WOULDNT EVEN CARE , DUMBASS .

The same thing happened when I applied to university back in 2001. I applied to St Andrews uni in Scotland as my first choice but Prince William went that year and my conditional offer was ridiculous something like 3 As on top of what I already had. I had to take my second choice cos I got A and 2 Bs. I really wanted to go there as well but because of Prince William I had no chance. Especially with all the rich Americans and private school people applying. Sometimes it’s not fair but money does seem to buy everything these days!

she is only book smart.of course we don’t meet her but we hear and see her interviews.she is not very smart talk.but cong.
you see daniel’ new girlfriend? she is ıyyk
