Sure, Yale is Ivy League, but you sound like you're preaching from a biased position (i.e. you went there or were denied admission). Just sayin'.

neither, i went to rutgers university undergrad and NYU law school (i didn't apply to yale).

fine, i know it's very subjective, however, i think we can agree that it is in the top ten toughest schools as far as admissions - which is still a huge accomplishment.

Well I'm sure her parents are proud.

I was rejected by Yale Law School, so they must be the most selective.

Even with your perfect LSAT scores? I'm guessing the rest of your academic career / resume are just as impressive. Weird .

Eh, that's not really the case. Particularly my previous academic career, which consisted of me basically sitting around playing video games and skipping the maximum number of exams/assignments possible while still passing. At the time I wasn't planning on law school or I probably would have cared about my grades. D'oh.

Heh, I can relate to that. But in my case it also involved lots of pot , which is fortunately in the past but I'm still paying for sinking my GPA big time .

5 reasons Obama won, 5 reasons Clinton lost ... and 5 differences between Obama, McCain Tribune staff June 4, 2008 5 reasons Obama won 1. He owned the word "change" when voters were fed up with the status quo. In a field of older, better-known candidates, he represented "the new." 2. He opposed the Iraq War when others were equivocal. The issue was a clear winner against Clinton, who had voted in 2002 to authorize the invasion. 3. His oratory was electrifying. While his early debate performances seemed halting and uncomfortable, he steadily improved. His stump speeches were assured, and he drew crowds as large as 75,000. 4. His campaign was better strategically and operationally, particularly in taking the long view and focusing on caucus states and primaries beyond Super Tuesday. 5. He won the Internet, notably in raising record amounts of money and building networks of supporters through non-traditional methods. 5 reasons Clinton lost 1. Her campaign was too corporate and hierarchical. It spent too much on staff, was too slow in decision-making and had too little independent thinking. 2. She didn't recognize the threat Obama posed early enough, and went straight from "inevitable" to in trouble. 3. She invested heavily in Iowa, then lost to Obama there. Her deputy campaign manager had urged her to skip the opening caucuses, which her husband, Bill, had bypassed in 1992. 4. She had no coherent post-Super Tuesday plan. While she held her own in the Feb. 5 primaries, including a big victory in California, she lost the next 11 contests. 5. She failed to connect with African-American voters, a demographic that had always been in her corner. Early in the race, poorly timed comments by Bill Clinton hurt her among blacks. 5 major differences between Obama and McCain 1. McCain supports the Iraq War; Obama opposes it. 2. McCain opposes abortion; Obama favors abortion rights. 3. Obama favors talking with hostile regimes; McCain does not. 4. McCain would make the Bush tax cuts permanent; Obama would not. 5. Obama favors more restrictions on gun ownership than McCain.
