[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is not a legacy. Neither parent went undergrad.  I am sure she earned it.  Sidwell is a hard school.  Good luck to her.[/quote]

You don't think her father's job has anything to do with it? Nothing at all?[/quote]

If it did then the same can be said for the Bush twins and Chelsea...yet I don't recall anyone ever making that connection. Certainly you don't think she didn't earn it because she is Black right???[/quote]

The Bush girls were already launched to college before their dad became president.  Certainly they came from a famous family (and dad being Texas governor certainly didn't hurt), but it's not the slam dunk of the White House.  By all accounts, Chelsea was whip smart in HS, but certainly her dad's position trumped everything.  Even the most selective schools slobber all over themselves for the buzz of having a president's kid (not to mention the potential that the parents will come to speak, etc.)[/quote]
