I seriously wonder how much this comes into play, if at all.


I think this is a big part of why so many kids with secret service coverage choose Sidwell. Much more closed off and protected campus than most of the other privates,

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


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.


Are the law and medical schools "real" ones, or Kennedy School stuff (fluff?). Or is it just fair Harvard College you speak of, old boy?

Universities will want the bragging rights, even schools that will pretend that they don't care about bragging. Plus, they know it will mean regular engagement and probably campus speeches and other events with the (ex) president and first lady.

Seriously? If I had the money that ex-presidents have/will have, my kids could major in basket weaving if it made them happy.

One of Bush's girls studied media and works in television. Is that okay as a practical major or is it just Obama who should 'urge' Malia to pick something more 'practical.'
Media isn't film-making, it's school of communications, not fine arts

The protection for presidents' kids, unless they are still minors, lapses quickly and usually no later than a few months after they leave office.

This is the most DCUM thing that ever was said.


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?


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.

Her father publicly shagging an intern barely older than his daughter may also have had something to do with it.

You are a douche.


We just have to conclude the poster you quoted isn't very bright.
