Did she really go to Harvard?

I'm not suggesting she's lying, it just seems odd as she doesn't come across as your average Ivy-leaguer. Plus, if you look up the cast lists for Harvard performances she's said to have been in on their database, she doesn't come up as a cast member. Maybe she changed her name. I'm just interested as it seems somewhat surprising to me, but happy to hear from people who knew he at Harvard.

It's wrong. It says her real name is "Julie Anne Smith" which is also wrong.
She often claims to have gone to Harvard University. She actually went to "Harvard Exte7ecnsion" a/k/a Harvard Community College.
Anyone with a face can get in. -

She went to the same high school as them (Cambridge Rindge & Latin).
I'm pretty sure she graduated in '85. She was probably there the same time as Damon but I would think she graduated before Affleck went there.
Maybe Affleck was in accelerated classes or something. However, I have a buddy who was the same year as Affleck at R&L and he doesn't think so.
You have to take anything Traci says with a grain of salt. Someone once told me about her: "If Traci tells you what time it is, check your watch." -

She had mentioned that she went to Harvard on Howard Stern and Howard didn't believe her either so he pressed her alitte more. She said she took a Psycology class at Harvard. But It really only makes sense that its the extention center.

I didn't hear that on Stern, but people told me about it. Is it true that she said the capitol of New York was New Jersey?
Anyway, asking her a couple of simple questions like "spell 'Harvard'" (or even better "spell 'MIT'") would pretty much confirm her lack of education. -

She's had her nose done and the chest is new.
I think she was hotter before the plastic surgery. Her nose was more natural and her chest was better proportioned to her body.
I think she looks too Barbie dollish now. -

I always found it kind of strange how she lied about stuff. It's pretty easy to Google her name and find pictures of what she looked like before surgery.
We used to call it "Traci World". She used to say something questionable, I'd later ask her boyfriend if it was true, and his answer would be "It's true in Traci World."
