(Harvard) Admission Reportedly Revoked

[Sub Atomic]

Remember the girl who sued for $2.7M because she wasn't the sole valedictorian?



Admission reportedly revoked

The Harvard Crimson said plagiarism led to the university's rejection of Blair Hornstine, 18.

Blair Hornstine, the Moorestown High graduate whose win in federal court has already brought a series of life losses, apparently has been dealt the biggest loss of all: admission to Harvard University.

The Harvard Crimson, the university's student newspaper, reported Friday that the Ivy League school had revoked the admission of Hornstine, 18, whose successful court battle to be named Moorestown's sole valedictorian attracted national attention and local scorn.

The Crimson, whose story was based on an anonymous source, cited reports that the would-be freshman had plagiarized a series of articles she wrote for the teen section of a South Jersey newspaper.

Mitchell said that students accepted to the university are required to sign a list of conditions for admission. Among other reasons, admission can be revoked if a student engages in "behavior that brings into question your honesty, maturity or moral character," he said. Officials say the university rarely withdraws offers of admission - about two or three a year.
