JG said,”you think he’d hire someone who could score not a modest 1220, but a 1590, like Bernanke got!” – maybe that’ll be too obvious? OK, it really doesn’t matter. The real problem is, if GWB has some intelligence, it’s not the right type for being a president.

“That a school accepts legacies at a higher rate isn’t prima facie evidence of affirmative action for alums.” — statistically speaking, yes.

“Children of Ivy League parents may have, on average, higher IQ, better work ethic, etc. than non-Ivy League parents.” — that’s too much for me, especially the “better work ethic” part. I have done quite some interviews of both college grads and MBAs, and I’d say that my bias against those with private school + Ivy league kids is that a lot of them are too pompous and already have big egos. Their sense of entitlement is too strong.
