if MIT is anything like my school, admissions decisions are made in committee, so while she would have had a say in it, hers wouldn't have been the deciding vote. still, i think part of the embarrasment is that she's such a high-profile and well known admissions officer from MIT - i doubt this would have been such a huge deal had she not been so well known for that essay/her blog/etc
