I bet it wouldn't really have hurt GWB to have gone to UT-Austin instead. Especially if all the other rich kids stopped getting accepted (so he wouldn't stand out).

He got jobs and power because his daddy was President. Not because he went to Yale.

I think these schools think its the opposite. They'd rather have someone who already has power within their network.




Yale gave him fake credibility because it's uncouth to vote for or start a business with a trust fund baby for no other reason than that.
