The piece also exhibits a common misunerstanding (regardless of campus)-- that the PNMs have a lot more say in choices. (How many times did she use the phrase "top choice"?). The real world operates similarly. More often than not, one will never hear one word from a company to which one submitted a resume and rarely will learn why she/he was not selected to interview. ("But I was a perfect candidate!!).
It's also possible that the bitterness/hurt is not due only to not getting a top choice (as there still were other groups in the mix) but also to her disappointment at not being able to manage her reactions to the process. If one is at Duke, this may be the first key disappointment she has experienced.
