Osberg sues for readmission
Annabel Osberg was riding high when, at only 17, she got into the hyper-competitive MFA program at the Yale School of Art. After administrators showed her the door a year later, she vowed to take them to court. Contributing reporter Harrison Korn reports.
At 19 years old, Annabel Osberg plans to take the next year to pursue her passion for art by painting on her own. She also plans to use her time off to sue Yale for readmission to its graduate Masters of Fine Arts program.
Even though she gained admission to Boston University’s MFA program earlier this month, Osberg has...
This is Yale's mistake. Why should she be punished for Yale's mistake? She did nothing wrong. Yale admitted her mistakenly and Yale should allow her to continue in the program. Yale's mistake has caused her damages and time that she could have spent elsewhere.
She is attractive and we need more artists like her at Yale.

I believe that Annabel Osberg needs to move on with her life by letting go of her attachment to the Masters of Fine Arts program at the Yale School of Art.It's "miraculous" that Osberg was accepted into that graduate program at the age of 17 -- an age when most American students are still in high school; however, administrators at the Yale School of Art believed that her work was not up to par for a graduate student, and removed her from the program. Being realistic, I would say it is unlikely she will gain readmission to the MFA program, since the courts will probably rule in favor of Yale's administrators. God helps us in mysterious ways, and I believe that Osberg -- who is obviously gifted in many areas -- will someday achieve her professional goals and discover that leaving Yale's MFA program was really a "blessing in disguise."
