Summary

Was Richard right about…college? In today’s episode, we dive into Rory Gilmore’s college application process, which was bumpy. Lorelai maintains her fierce independence - no help from Richard and Emily allowed. Meanwhile, Richard plots a secret Yale interview, and Rory is stuck in the middle! Did Lorelai actually think Rory could apply to ONE school? And was Richard’s scheming necessary? We cover it all: college fairs, tours, Ivy league applications, backups and safeties, Paris’ sage advice to Rory, and the infamous pro-con lists they used to decide on Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.
