... I totally agree with Yvonne; it shows complete lack of direction. 

Of course Yvonne will have to speak for herself, but I got the impression that wasn't her own point so much as noting the different response the board had to the kid who got into all the Ivies and Stanford and chose Harvard (or I might be conflating two separate previous threads here).
