I think it’s one of those stupid things you say when you’re young to be ‘controversial’. Makes me respect her less. And her arrogance over her intellect and qualifications was lacking in class. In the same that someone saying I’m clearly the most beautiful, or clearly the nicest person would also be lacking in class. She may be terribly smart but she’s no more sophisticated than any other average 23 year old.
It was really arrogant. Ive got lots of friends who are doctors and they are definitely not the smartest out of us (didn't get the best grades out of us, for example) and wouldn't have the gall to state that they are.
When she said 'show me your doctorate!', Chloe should have said 'show me yours!'- seeing as she hasn't actually got the degree yet.
