Well, George W. Bush went to Yale and Harvard.
Donald J. Trump went to Wharton.
A Daddy in a position of power and a large pocketbook can get you into any University.

That's far from unbelievable. She probably applied as The Lady Daphne Dashwood, daughter of the Earl of Wycombe and not Daphne Reynolds of China Town, New York. Based on the paintings Henry shows to Daphne, the family title is old. I'm sure plenty of Dashwoods went to Oxford or other prestigious universities. Getting in wouldn't be difficult.

Weeeellll we don't know anything about her academics we also don't know that she didn't get into NYU. She says she didn't end up there, not that she didn't get in. Very different statement. The point was probably that she chose to start the new phase of her life in London, with her father and his family and her boyfriend. But that aside, is not impossible to get into one and not the other. Hell, I got into Stanford but not UC Riverside, and I didnt even have an alumni connection or a prominent public figure for a father like Daphne.

Considering her father sits in the House of Lords getting in to Oxford would be as simple as applying for a library membership.
Opinions are just onions with pi in them.

Are you forgetting who her father is? He most definitely could have pulled some strings. We don't find out her grades or GPA and she'd have to be able to keep up once she got in, but it's far from unbelievable.

I didn't think he did one day she shows up on his doorstep and she's staying over that very night Glyniss questioned it and all he said was that she was his all cause she had his pic and claimed she had his eyes.

he did have a paternity test i believe

When I read this post, I thought you were talking about how Henry just let Daphne in his life just like that without so much of a paternity test or anything considering his political position.

Yes Oxford has uniform. It's one of the oldest universities in the UK. It's proud of it.

Once Henry came back for her, I don't think she even
finished the application
for NYU. That's why she didn't get in there.

the only thing i find truly unbelievable is that she got into oxford, but not nyu. also, what was with the uniform? do all the students at oxford have to wear uniforms?

Point missed try again.

I don't think Oxford considers SAT scores.

What makes it unbelievable? She never mentioned her grades, or S.A.T. scores? When she gets home she is filling out college applications, so obviously she cared some about school. Just because she was a free spirit, doesn't mean she didn't get good grades.

a lot of it had to do with Henry, I'm assuming
Falcon eggs, protein shakes, and ROCKS!

Don't be so harsh. We don't know Daphne's GPA, SAT scores, APs, where she went to high school, or what she does during the school year. What we do know, however, is that she has a strong alumni connection. All we can do is just assume that between that and good scores, she deserves to go. It's not as unrealistic as you'd like to think.

Why is that unbelievable? Look at who her father is. You don't think he didn't have some strings pulled?

I just press stop before she says it.

I completely disagree - the fact that it is the last thing shown plunged every other event that transpired in the film into complete and utter insignificance! Well, that might be a slight over-reaction, but it is still the last thing you see, and therefore the last thing that stays with you. I watched it a week ago and it still makes me angry!

Fortunately, it's the very last line, so it's easy to avoid or ignore.
