It's a fact, but I've never seen a specific reason given.

After graduating from Yale, and before attending Harvard for his MBA he applied to Texas A&M and was rejected. It's a fact, but I've never seen a specific reason why. My guess is it was because of low Admission Test scores (LSAT is actually an IQ test) but I don't know the answer

I've been corrected-it was Texas U. Law School-not A&M

He was rejected from the University of Texas Law School (I don't think A&M has one)
By his own admission, he was a poor student: "To the C students, I say, 'You too can be president of the United States,"' Bush said at the 300th commencement of Yale University.
. . .
The president acknowledged that he was known here for so-so grades and a lively social life."
You need good test scores and good grades to get into law school. Even if he had done well on the LSAT, a C average would have prevented his admission to a top law school. In contrast, business schools were more willing to look the other way on grades for prominent applicants. This, too, has changed.

He got his BA at Yale, for cheerleading, GPA was >2.0.
He had a GPA below 2.0 at a school where the average is 3.8 when he got his MBA at Harvard.
Hard to imagine what sort of f___up it takes to do that.
Not taking the pre-law courses of course had a bearing, and the Aggies don't like deserters.

I'd be curious to know how you came across this "fact". Bush has a B.A. from Yale and an MBA from Harvard. In fact, he is the first president to serve with an MBA. However, I am unaware of any evidence that he ever applied for law school, let alone be rejected. If such a rejection existed, the law school certainly could not legally disclose the reasons for such a rejection.

You are confused.
Bush graduated from Yale.
He was not rejected by anyone.
Bush had better grades than John Kerry. And a higher IQ that both Kerry & Gore.
Ted Kennedy was kicked out of Harvard for Cheating.
Al Gore flunked out of a "Divinity College.
We taxpayers payed for all of Clinton's expenses to Oxford, where he didn't even attend classes for a year.
You are mixed up.
