[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given that Amy Chua and her husband both teach at Yale Law and are amazingly well-connected even compared to many of their peers, it's astonishing that she went all this effort. Her kids would have sailed into Harvard anyway.[/quote] OP. I don't know if they would have "sailed" in, but Amy Chua went to Harvard herself for college and both she and her husband went to Harvard Law. Legacy status is definitely an advantage at Harvard. [/quote] Especially for prominent alumni which definitely describes her even before this book. Her book World on Fire was a pretty big deal and she was well known in certain circles. I remember reading her writings for college classes. [/quote]
