ivotedoyou: you are delusional. bush does NOT have a law degree. he was rejected from law school. hillary is the one with a law degree WITH honors from Yale. And she was valedectorian at Wellesley. why do u keep rationalizing and making excuses for him?
Bush got into yale with a C average, everyone knows this. He got in because of his money/alumnus.
And for those who say lots of people get in because of their rich/alumnus families and that it's common practice, does that mean that it's right? Does that mean it's still not considered cheating?
There are many who are poor and work hard to get their A's but can't because they have to let people like Bush in. Is that right?

How is it cheating... he was a child of a faithful alumnus and Yale, like any college or university will tell you grades are only a facet of the "total picture" when considering applicants.
Yale and the rest of the Ivy League have always let in mediocre students depending on their parentage, especially if the parents have been donors to the school.

It is not known what his high school grades were. We know he made a 1206 on SAT (that is before the SAT added an extra 100 points to there total) & that he was a "C" student at Yale (he had the common really bad freshman year that he had to make up for the next 3 years). We know he passed the bar exam - no favors from Dad. We also know that Yale like a lot of private & public universities allow alumnus children in with lower grades. That is not cheating, just a practice that has occurred for many, many years. I can personally introduce you to dozens of attorneys, accountants, CEOs & etc that received exactly the same opportunities because their parents were alumni. My children were honor students but could have used the alumni rule to get in to our university. I trust him completely & he showed resourcefulness to overcome a wild youth. He went from a partying boy to a great family man with a law degree , a gorgeous ranch & a ton of money & he is the President of the United States. Sounds smart to me.You, however, have misquoted the facts & jumped to conclusions, so you I am not sure are trustworthy.
I bet this is not the answer you were looking for - manners will take you far in life. Adding thanks does not polite make. Thanks!

I think it is cheating. Many of the rich and famous' kids are admitted into the big schools ie, Yale and Harvard, because the administration knows full well that if they treat daddys rich little girl well, daddy will donate mucho bucks to the university. The universities are a business too just like everyone else. They have to support faculty and research programs. Many of the moneys given to universities like grants and federal funds, have stipulations and they have to be spent the way the grant states. Gift moneys from rich people can be used anyway the university sees fit.

yeh its totally wrong like everything else , its quite interesting how people lie and make excuses for people like dubya . fair enough they can take there famillys money and start a buisness or work in there famillys corrupt buisness but to become president says it all.
to be honest the guy is nothing more than a puppet for the new world order (global elite) everything that people as incompetance is nothing more than a job well done for the wealthy minority , there agenda is sick and can be seen throughout history , but hey we are the lucky zombies that will see the end game in a few years .
when they attack iran its WW3 and thats exactly what they want .

No, not cheating, education is for everyone -
Multiple people get in without A+++ averages.
Cheating would be getting a degree if you flunked the classes . . . but just taking the classes is not limited to brainiacs.
Some people just get touchy about it because more people want into the best schools, than they actually have seats for so . . .
whomever does not get in gets cranky !

I heard he had a C average AT Yale, and that's better than many others could do; I'll admit, I myself couldn't hang a C at Yale. Could you?

No, because anyone can use his Daddy's money to get into Yale.
What? Not everyone's Daddy has that much money?
Kind of makes you wonder what kind of people are attending Yale, doesn't it?

Depends on the situation. If Yale was so hard up for admissions and the funds were great enough..well trust has nothing to do with it. Students wouldn't know this to be fact--only suspicion/rumored. It's not cheating per se
but it's demoralizing and unethical and for those reasons, the person should not be trusted.

No, that is politics.
In any case, with grade inflation nowadays, grades have lost a good bit of their significance. I am sure we all know alot of stupid "book smart" people anyway. Straight A's do not make a good leader, or one that deserves our respect. Their actions will speak for them.

If he worked his butt off for the C, then he did not cheat. He must have wrote one amazing application.
