TASM2 wasted the talent of 2 Oscar nominating actresses. Just think about this.
And yes, Emma was wasted as Gwen. Her whole arc revolved around getting into Harvard. First off, you put in applications before you graduate. Second a college can only accept so many students. It's best to apply early so you get it. Third, Harvard does interviews to get it in the Winter and the film took place in the summer. Fifth, even if she got in, she had to visit Harvard before being accepted. Sixth, even if she got in, you can't just sign up for classes. You gotta be in some like freshmen presentation thing or whatever just some meeting. Seventh, if she signed up for classes because how late she was in getting in it's likely that either A it's too late to register for them or B the classes are filled up.
God it's like the writers never did any research or even attended college.
