About you Like a Virgin post from earlier, Rachel was a sophomore, so she would have been fifteen or sixteen, not fourteen or fifteen. Not that it makes much of a difference, but still.

How many times do I have to say this? 

Let’s count backwards: 

It is senior year, yet she JUST turned seventeen.

It was junior year, and she was sixteen in Born This Way.

Therefore, in sophomore year, she was fifteen or fourteen, depending on if Like a Virgin took place before or after her birthday in December.

Is it really that much a stretch of imagination that Rachel practically skipped a grade? (Or, more likely, the writers weren’t paying attention?)
