[quote=Anonymous]Georgetown SFS is currently educating Princess Iman of Jordan after previously graduating her brother, Crown Prince Hussein.  I have zero issue with letting rich people like that in through no admissions process at all, even though SFS is fiercely competitive. These are people who are or will be in hereditary positions of massive influence--the Jordanian throne has a tremendous amount of power over the lives of millions of people and is a key regional ally of the US and a serious player in the war on terror. Hussein is going to be in control of an army and has already chaired UN Security Council meetings even though he's only 24. It is in the global and national interest for someone like that to receive the best education possible and try to force knowledge into their heads even if they are incredible morons--Hussein can go where he likes, and if he takes some other kid's slot, well, too bad. The Middle East tinderbox may thank you later for your sacrifice.

Felicity Huffman's kids? Bleh. Not rich enough to buy their way in the "honorable" way with a building donation or scholarship fund that could at least benefit others, and not important enough to be let in based on influence. Just cheating poseurs. This story is both infuriating and hilarious. [/quote]
