I feel like she is complaining, and not being prepared to apply and be accepted to the colleges she wished is her own fault. She stated that her parents clipped articles about young students making discoveries for her to read. Well, why didn't she take the hint and start trying to think of something herself? Or perhaps, just become more involved. Without much background I cannot determine as to which level she was involved in her community and school, but maybe she was applying to schools out of her reach. In order to get into an ivy league school, you have to be an ivy league student with potential. One with drive and motivation. Those types of schools are not merely looking for the "Average Joe", or someone who complains and envies others success. Those types of schools are looking for an exceptional, stand out student who doesn't need the motivation of others to do well in life, but is self motivating and will do something miraculous to reflect well on the university. Therefore, as I said previously, I believe she is simply complaining because she realizes she is as fault.
