[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And if she can get into Stanford and Swarthmore (likely she was accepted with late visits) she can get into Columbia[/quote]

This is too naive thinking. There is no guarantee that if one can get into Stanford, one can get into Columbia.  Of course, for Malia, she can be accepted into any school she likes as long as she is not an obviously bad student.[/quote]

Of course no guarantee but minus being POTUS daughter I think a girl coming out of Sidwell with Harvard Law parents could get into both Stanford and Columbia. Stanford's acceptance rate is a bit lower then Columbia as well.

By the same reasoning, every student accepted into Stanford can get into Harvard, and every student accepted into Columbia can get into Princeton.

I feel like you're taking this personally for some reason. Again no guarantees but someone with the credentials to get into Stanford can probably get into all the Ivy Leagues. Yes they'll need some creativity in their essays to make them standout for Harvard, Yale, etc. but it's certainly well within reach. [/quote]
