You may have known that the Real Housewives of New York was off the air, but Kelly Killoren Bensimon is talking like the cameras are still on her. Okay, so they were, for this 35-minute-long Obsessed TV interview that NYMag points out. Wondering how this one got into Columbia? She just asked nicely and batted her eyelashes, duh. Bensimon, who graduated from Columbia's School of General Studies at age 30, explains, "A friend of mine said you should really go to Columbia, they have an amazing journalism department there. And so I actually went to the school and I said to them, I said, 'You know, if you take me, I, you know, you just gotta give me a chance, and if you take me, then I will be the best student, I will do whatever it is, whatever you need whenever you need it. I promise you, you know, I will not be a mistake.' And this man, the dean, was like, 'Who are you? Like, what? No, no, no. We have a process here. You have to fill out an application.' And I was like, 'No no no, It's nice you have an application, I've already sent that in, but I want to go here, and I really really wanted to go there.' And he let me in." Totally not a mistake, right, Dean?

I don't get this show either. How are they housewives if some aren't human?
Who gives a flying fuck?
she's a psychotic moron and I'd be unsurprised if it turns out she didn't go to Columbia after all...
that being said, she is a major MILF and I'd love to fuck her.
.....like the fist of an angry god.
Soooo....she gave the dean head.
With those shorts? Noooo, methinks he went straight for the toolshed.

she's unbearable to watch, and at the same time irresistible to watch. Like a train wreck, but one that tries to show all her teeth while speaking.
I suddenly feel less honored to have been accepted into the Columbia J School -- and brilliant for turning down their offer.
She's probably no dumber than a lot of the clueless, ivory-towered academics that populate Columbia, NYU or any other over-rated, over-priced institute of liberal indoctrination.
As a Columbia College student, I will be the first to tell you that they let basically anyone into General Studies (it has a ~50% admit rate). And they get the exact same degree as the regular undergrads. Yeah, I know, total bullshit.
hi i also graduated from CC and no i'm pretty certain they don't get the "same degree." instead, they get a degree from the CU School of General Studies. they do get to take pretty much the same classes as the college students but they also pay just as much for the GS degree as for the CC degree, even though it is less prestigious, at least in the eyes of anyone that knows the deal (e.g. any grad school admissions dept.). the GS students were generally wealthy older people with a lot of free time on their hands. kind of like this chick.
The degree is the same, but from a different school. Most GS students I know are super bright people in their 20s who didn't do the college thing directly after high school like perhaps you were conditioned to. All this bellyaching from CC students over GS is just sour apples.
by "degree" do you mean "bachelor of arts"? by that rationale i got the same degree as someone from harvard. the CC students were very snobby towards the barnard and GS students because they'd talk too much in class and often say dumb things. but the flipside was that it helped the curve, so it wasn't 100% negative. i liked the older 40+ GS students because at least they had some life experiences to draw from beyond editing the school newspaper and finding a prom date.
They certainly receive the same education. They take the same classes with the same professors sitting right beside CC students. All this elitism stems from the selectivity of CC's admissions and from anecdotal complaints (they talk to much, are "dumb"...but I guess it's easy not to sound dumb when one ISN'T adding to the discussion in class) and not from anything really substantial.
Yeah I agree, it is easy to not sound dumb when one isn't adding to class discussion. I'm not in Columbia but I personally find older students to be more serious and less afraid of asking simple but important questions. I'm guessing because they probably had to finance their own education and not have daddy and mommy foot the bill.
She'll fit right in at Columbia. And vice versa.
