[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read this entire thread, and I am sure she is an amazing kid in her own right, but please, President of the USA's child will get in anywhere she wants - no questions asked.[/quote]

I totally agree with this but am having a hard time getting worked up in the slightest about it. So POTUS's kid got into Harvard, good for her, of course she did. Just like there was never any way King Abdullah of Jordan's kids were getting rejected from Georgetown. Extremely powerful people paying full freight who also happen to be legacies, with offspring from strong private high schools? Yup. That's that. You could not pay me all the money in the mint to do Obama's job--if his kid getting a slot at Harvard is one of the perks, then have at it.

(Arguably, Crown Prince Hussein should have been let in even if he was massively academically unqualified, which he apparently isn't--what's the point of having a School of Foreign Service if you aren't going to use it to try to somewhat educate a teenager who will one day sit on the not-at-all-ceremonial throne of a key regional ally? There could hardly be a more important mission for the school) [/quote]

I wouldn't be surprised if a potus kid applied to caltech and got denied I he/she wasn't a strong enough candidate. They don't mess around [/quote]
