[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that just because she's a politicians childe then that automatically makes her Ivy League material?[/quote]

Because her parents are graduates of Columbia, Harvard and Princeton.  I'd expect anyone's offspring with those credentials to be Ivy League material.[/quote]

My parents have three Harvard degrees between the two of them. The real ones, not the Kennedy School stuff.  I was not Ivy League material.  My sister was, however--albeit at a lesser Ivy.  But I had to settle for a top 25 public school.

This is the most DCUM thing that ever was said. [/quote]

The point was that a president's kid gets in the Ivy unlike a commoner's kid.  But just think:  how dumb does a president's kid have to be if she ends up attending, say, UT-Austin?[/quote]

I am not defending any Bush.  But who says an Ivy is always the be all and end all?  And UT Austin is an excellent university, but not for everyone.  The ill-informed snobbery on this board is pretty amazing.  If I had a choice of, say, Cornell vs. UT, I would definitely choose UT.

A brand-name school is not a proxy for intelligence.[/quote]

Wow do you even live in DC? Your school is not only a proxy for intelligence, it reveals everything about you.

Basically astrology for "smart" people. [/quote]

Please tell me you are joking. I've known totally unoriginal Ivy grads and brilliant state school grads. If you're real...blech.[/quote]
