>Absent evidence to the contrary, none of which I've seen, I assume he his combined gradepoint average and GMAT score provided the basis for his admission. He's made fun of his own GPA in speeches, so we know that he was a C student at Yale. Why should that have gotten him into Harvard? And heck, I'm pretty sure Bush got in because of his family, but so what? That's how these schools work. My old boss went to Yale, and his father went to Yale, and his grandfather went there, and his great-grandfather went there.

Thousands of people get into Ivy Leagues schools because of the legacy system. -Z
