<p>With Obama and Clinton leading the country soon, wouldn't this send a message that the top tiers are still as important as before?</p>
<p>You neglected to mention the fact that Obama's cabinet is a basically roundtrable of educated elites.</p>
<p>Not necessarily a bad thing, but.</p>
<p>I'm reading Obama's memoir and I think it's funny that he ended up at Columbia at all.</p>
<p>yeah cause he prob got in with AA.</p>
<p>It was far easier to get into the Ivies back in the day. ;)</p>
<p>Hence, no one should be surprised that G.W. Bush got into Yale...</p>
<p>yes. yes it is.
