Is it still technically Early Decision if she's applying to start school in January? How does one even apply for January-of-senior-year-in-high-school admittance into a fancypants school? Besides being Richard Castle's daughter and loaded, I mean? And wouldn't the application period be significantly earlier than three months prior to the intended enrollment date?
Still, I can't believe Castle and Martha let her cruise along in her "Well obviously I'll get into Stanford, dur!" mindset without making her squeeze out at least some sort of safety school, if not a fully-realized Plan B. October of your senior year is a bit late for beginning your "Hm, what sort of prestigious college might I like to apply to?" research, if I remember correctly.
the Stanford admissions people should have fallen all over themselves to accept Richard Castle's daughter
This too! Alexis is practically oozing money and fame for whichever school she ends up at! So much of this college subplot has so little to do with logic and reality!
Also, this episode leaves entirely untouched the shoe-dropping line from a certain prior conversation, about Alexis proposing to move in with Ashley.
...I had completely forgotten that. Possibly because the show pretended that it never happened. Why isn't Ashley the subject of the latest murder investigation? Why doesn't the writing for Alexis make any sort of sense anymore?
