[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Of course it did. Most girls that age don't have nearly the close exposure to world politics and culture that she has had by virtue of having grown up in the White House. But, by all accounts she is a bright, hard-working, respectful girl and that, combined with highly unusual upbringing would ensure her place at H.

It doesn't matter. She would get in regardless. It has nothing to do with her close exposure to world politics and culture and everything to do with her father. I love the Obamas and voted for him twice. But let's be clear. For every other student who had her credentials, Harvard was a crapshoot. For her, it was a guarantee. [/quote]

How do you know what her credentials are?[/quote]

It doesn't matter what her credentials are. That is the point. But whatever they are, almost every other student with her credentials would be faced with a potential rejection. Not so for her. [/quote]And not so for Bush who left his high school as a C student yet landed a plum spot at Yale then as a C student Harvard Business.

Nothing new under the sun.[/quote]

I've never heard what Bush's high school GPA was, but it is known that he had 1209 SAT score.  Yes, this is low for Yale, but still a very good score, and not what you would expect from a C student. [/quote]
