This scene has very different portrayals, between the movie and musical. I've never read the movie one as being why they accepted her, though in the musical her pomp and circumstance certainly has a much bigger impact. Both have moments of the acceptance board looking at something and nearly dismissing in out of hand (Movie: the video, Musical: the scented pink paper), but then something else makes them take a moment, and changes their minds. But in both case, the acceptance board decides to take a risk on her, and her more outlandish, creative presentation.

Granted, the shift in the musical isn't *quite* as wholesome as the movie, but it still happens.

This particular scene might not be the most "feminist," but at the same time one could argue she's employing a facet of herself -- her attractiveness and sexuality -- in order to improve her chances in life in general. That's the setup, that was going to be the original life plan, wasn't it? Getting by on her looks? Is it anti-feminist to utilize one's features to the most advantage? Again, huge debate. Personally, I find that she feels confident in herself, and is using all her confidence, in her appearance and intelligence, for her presentation.

Besides, we're so used to seeing attractive women in bikinis, I think the only "problem" with this part is that the shot's just from the tits up, thereby further accentuating said boobs. But that's my read on it. You do you, hon.
