Was "little" georgie bush accepted at Yale because he was a "legacy" student?

Probably. It's funny, because I scored higher on my SAT's than he did, back when our scoring was on a 1600 max scale. And I never thought i would have been accepted into Yale with my score. And I was also one of the top students in my graduating class. And participated in sports and won awards. But the thing about Yale, is they want students who they know will be important some day, and since they knew he would probably be able to have connections to do big things, they probably took him for that reason. It's sad, but that's the way they do things here. You can be a total genius, but if you have no drive, or they think you will never do anything amazing with it, then they won't accept you. Even if you scored perfect on your SAT's and were the class valedictorian. They want leaders, and apparently they saw that quality in him.
