I still find this very, very hard to believe. There had to be some serious string pulling going on here ! " What college degrees does george w bush hold? In: Famous People, George W Bush [Edit categories] [Edit] [Edit] He holds the Bachelor of Arts from Yale and the Master of Business Administration from Harvard. He attempted to enter the University of Texas Law School but was not accepted. He got the BA from Yale as a legacy student. How the hell did he get accepted into Harvard for an MBA program. Is Harvard still an Ivy League school? Or does the MBA program have an affiliated legacy department? Harvard is still an Ivy League school. Ivies used to (and may still do) accept the sons of Old Money families readily, and the Bushes are very much old money. That's the only way I can think of that Bush would have gained acceptance to Harvard; it certainly wasn't on merit."
