[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.  No one who reads Michelle Obama's senior thesis can reasonably come away without thinking she deserved to attend an Ivy.   I had no idea it was that bad on virtually every level.

Yes, an Asian or Jewish student with higher SATs and a demonstrated ability to compose an English sentence was more deserving of her place at Princeton.  [/quote]

Really?  You read it?  And somehow she managed to get into a great law school and make partner at a major law firm.  Let me guess, that was all just unfair advantages?  She seems to have done ok for herself.  And I've never heard her speak unintelligently.
You know, I went to top ivies (I'm a white girl with no "hooks") for undergrad and law school, and I never met a person who wasn't really smart there.  [b]Plenty of arrogant people, and plenty of people who thought they knew everything already and therefore didn't learn everything they could have, and plenty of people who were born on third and thought they hit a triple, but there wasn't a dumb person there.  Of any color.[/b]  [/quote]This is really it in a nutshell.[/quote]

People who went to Ivies often give everyone else who went to an Ivy the benefit of the doubt, particularly if they have the same politics.   [/quote]

Wait, so let me get this straight:  you are certain that URM's you went to Ivies aren't as smart, despite the fact that you've never set foot in one.  I spent 8 years total at Ivies, in classes with people, in study groups, etc., and I'm telling you they're all smart (lots of other flaws, but all smart) and you say that because I went to ivies I'm biased.  Ohhhhkay.  I'm seeing why you didn't get into an Ivy.[/quote]
