2002 Miss Korea to attend MIT

From the Chosun Ilbo:
Miss Korea Accepted by MIT

The winner of the Miss Korea 2002 pageant, Keum Na-na (21), has received a letter of acceptance from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on Monday. The letter from MIT stated that Ms. Keum is an outstanding student with a great deal of potential and possesses both beauty and intelligence.
Really? Do acceptance letters these days really praise applicants on their beauty?
If this is the case, might another letter say, "Despite your hideous face, MIT is accepting you based on your intelligence."

One may also assume that a college might say something like, "MIT could use a person like you, Joel," (after Joel invites an admissions officer to a party with booze and hookers).

Fiction. All fiction.
