<p>what a joke!
"This is part of the supposed special relationship between Great Britain and the U.S.," Galloway said. "We send our troops in support of [American] troops into Iraq to be killed, and Euan Blair gets special entry into Yale."</p>

<p>Why didn't he go to Oxford?</p>

<p>---"This is part of the supposed special relationship between Great Britain and the U.S.," Galloway said. "We send our troops in support of [American] troops into Iraq to be killed, and Euan Blair gets special entry into Yale."---
Yeah, I suppose it's easy to send people off to get killed as long as your own son is nice and save at home. And guess who is being rewarded. How about admitting a crippled war veteran instead of a rich, spoilt rotten boy. At least that would be more appropiate.</p>

<p>He was rejected from Oxford because he didn't get the grades. He went to Bristol instead (and then Cherie Blair was involved in some scandal over dodgy dealings when buying a house in Bristol for him). Since all UK schools are effectively state schools, choosing students because of a legacy is effectively illegal.</p>

<p>i read in another article that he also got accepted to the grad program at harvard</p>

7

<p>Right, he chose Yale over Harvard.</p>

8

<p>the (unjustified) full scholarship probably helped.</p>

9

<p>i dont understand why a full scholarship was given, or why it would help: aren't the blair's pretty rich?</p>

<p>Yale IR program is the laughing stock of the graduate school. The person who runs it pretends to be an economist but she cannot solve elementary math problems. Maybe it is the right program for young Euan. He will get a useless degree with a good label on it.</p>

11

<p>what a joke. blair couldn't handle the rigors of a real university (harvard) so he opted for yale.</p>

12

<br>


<br>

<p>that's pure speculation. harvard evidently thought he could "handle the rigors," since they accepted him. they also accepted george w. bush, who, despite his stunning anti-intellectualism, managed to handle the rigors of HBS and graduate.</p>

13

<p>eh, i say this merely in jest. but in terms of admission, the benefits of having a big name attend the university far outweighs the applicant's academic ability.</p>

14

<p>This is graduate, it looks like, because he's 22 and he already attended Bristol College.</p>
