The prestigious schools listed here admit only top-of-the-line students, the cream of the academic crop

i think this article is missing somethings, and some people in this post are missing things


you can still be dumb and get to one of these schools if


1. your rich parents make a nice donation to the school

2. your parents are very rich and you went to a very rich private school

3. your famous, or the child of someone famous, especially a president

4. your family is rich

5. your rich dad is an alumni form the college, and makes his donations

6. someone in your rich family has connections at the college

7. your rich

8. oh yeah and if your really rich, you dont have to do anything your just accepted


i mean look at are president right now, no one can actually tell me that he is smart or ever was smart, the guy is an idiot, I dont know what college he went to but I know it was one of those ivy league places, hmm i wonder how he got in hmmm ...

Nice idea, but this doesn't really happen. You have to donate a lot of money to schools to stand out in the first place, and anyways, most school admissions officers are so freakishly egalitarian that they'd rather let in a stupid poor person than a stupid rich person.

Legacies make a difference - if your father went to that school, then they look slightly more kindly upon your application, but it still really isn't much of an issue.

Bush is mildly mushmouthed, not stupid. Bush is smarter than you, and he's smarter than most of his critics. We haven't had an intellectual in office since Wilson, and there's a reason for it - the people won't vote for one.

Legacies only matter a little if your parents/grandparents etc. didn't donate alot of money to the school. If they donated alot of money, you're garunteed entrance.

My sister is going to Harvard Medical School (for a PhD, not a MD). She says there are many, many very stupid medical students there from legacies.

Oh, and Bush isn't as stupid as some of his quotes make him out to be, but he isn't all that smart, either.

Yeah, for one, I wouldn't consider myself the authority on Bush's intelligence since - well - I don't know the guy. But I think it is safe to assume he is not simply dumb.

my best friend went to harvard undergrad. He said there were a ton of stupid rich kids there, i visited and saw them myself too. There is a lot of truth to Strawberry Shortcake's post.

Yeah, I wish there were more hot girls in my school. If you want girls, NEVER go to an engineering school... EVER. *sigh* Why can't girls be hot AND be in the sciences?

Something I learned the hard way as well. I needed to get the hell out of the engineering school before I committed suicide. Need some eye candy!

And girls are into sciences... just not physical. Life sciences/premed/biochem/etc. is a good looking girl haven.

Yeah, I'm hoping our school's new biomed program attracts plenty of lookers. ;)

My sister's going to attend Harvard this fall as a freshman. I dunno if its a good or bad thing but she's staying in the farthest fucking dorm from Harvard yard....Pennypacker. The dorm sounds like shit too....

My question is, how far is Pennypacker from Harvard Yard really?


Oh yeah, I hear Rivers Cuomo is going back to Harvard soon.

Whoa, my old thread!
