Jackie Milestone, Harriton High School senior is making waves on more than just her waterbed.
Milestone applied to Yale University this past fall in the early application round. She was deferred, and in response has created a four-minute video of her singing and playing original song with the irresistible chorus: “Yale you’ve made me white and blue for you.” Milestone explained the video: “My hope is that this song and video will help to show that Yale is more than just my first choice school, it is a school I know well and have dreamed of attending ever since I discovered that colleges existed. I was heartbroken when I found out I was deferred and I hope that this video will encourage the admissions officers to give me another chance.”

The video has since gone viral. In one day the video recieved hundreds of views. Even more impressive, Jackie and her video have now been reported on by NBC, MSNBC, and even Yale’s daily paper. One can be sure the views will only increase.
The Harriton community wishes Jackie the best of luck, and encourages everyone to watch the video!
