Well, the thing is, though, that it was Harvard Law. And jen showed on the show that she is likely a very good attorney. But clearly, she had a bit more than Kelly to learn in terms of running a business...

Some real fuckups manage to make it into Harvard and graduate, then go on to do very little of anything worthwhile. There's somewhat less of a chance of this happening at the academies.

yep, at least in part because of the rec system. the congressperson gets a phone call if his candidate is a complete fuckup so he/she has an incentive not to recommend a complete asshole.
edit: air force is full of complete assholes, though despite this.

they want someone who's above average at virtually everything, whereas a lot of other prestigious schools prefer someone who's exceptional in a single area.
ie: the math geek who gets into MIT easily doesn't have a prayer in hell at West Point despite having an SAT score 200 points above its median, because he can't pass the physical and doesn't have a wide breadth of EC's.
and vice versa. i wouldn't have stood a prayer in hell of getting into harvard, but probably could've gotten into WP.

Very true. The military needs smart people as well, especially tech-smart people.
The physical standards to get in aren't THAT exacting. You can't be fat and you have to be able to run and do situps and pushups to a reasonable specification. I remember looking it up once and the standards were about the same as to get that physical fitness award they used to give out in elementary school.

Anybody with a 1250 SAT and a LOR from a corrupt ttt congressman gets into WP. How smart can a WP student be if they want to join the military? The military is ttt. If you are smart, you can sleep late and make your own damn schedule. It's not like wars are fought at 4am.

you also have to pass the physical and generally have a varsity sport or two.
"It's not like wars are fought at 4am."
actually they are. they don't schedule wars to begin promptly at 9am and end at 5pm. they begin and end at all hours.
in terms of GPA/LSAT, it's admittedly a lot less selective than a lot of other prestigious schools, but they aim for well-rounded candidates.

you're just wrong.
http://admissions.usma.edu/FAQs/faqs_admission.cfm
"The Physical Aptitude Examination consists of five events: pull-ups for men or flexed-arm hang for women; a basketball throw from the kneeling position; the standing long jump; a 300-yard shuttle run; and a two-minute period of push-ups. You are permitted just one examination, and you should practice the five events prior to taking the examination."

IMHO too much was made of the name of the school and not enough about how well she did -- she was clearly not the kind of student who gets in somewhere and then coasts if she made PBK at Princeton. To me, that's the bigger issue.
That being said, I think West Point deserves all the accolades it gets. You have to be very sharp AND a very tough person to get in & get through.

>Academically, those schools are equivalent to a good state school.
They sure rock state schools' asses when it comes to producing Rhodes & Marshall scholars, and unless by good state school you mean Berkeley and Michigan, when it comes to law school admission.

(Updated 11/30/04) West Point is 4th on the list of total winners for Rhodes Scholarships, 7th for Marshall and 4th on the list of Hertz Fellows. In each case the institutions with more scholarship winners also have larger student bodies.
http://www.dean.usma.edu/Scholarships/
I hope Stanford, Columbia and the other "top" private universities are ashamed of themselves for trailing a a "good" state school equivalent in Rhodes scholars. For God's sakes, their admissions numbers are equal to the decent state schools.
How dare those bastards competing for the Marshall write papers advised by people living and making history! How are those in the ivory tower to compete?????
Perhaps an insitution's output is more important than its input. And this all comes from a place whose goal is to produce future leaders, not scholars.

Kelly went to my high school, Pine View School for the Highly Gifted in Sarasota, from grades 4 through 9. In terms of ability, he is head and shoulders above many at harvard, assuming IQ is a somewhat accurate guage of smartness. Obviously I don't know precisely how many standard deviations above the mean he tested at, but Trump himself mentioned that all selectees were 200+.

"Trump himself mentioned that all selectees were 200+."
What scale was he using? There's no way in hell some of those candidates has IQ's above 200, or even 160. Stacy R. and Bradford were certifiable 120's.

I was just thinking that. I'd be surprised if there were 18 people out of the 1,000,000 that applied for the position with IQ's of 200 or above.
Do you think he selected the crop by highest IQ?

No, he selected the people that would make for the best tv.
Maybe they all got 200 plus on the emode IQ test online, but that;s about it.
Statistically, 200 IQs are hard to find, and the ones that you do find, chances are, would not all be telegenic/good choices for tv. In order to get a group that's as loudmouthed/creates good tv as this one, youd have to have like 100 people with 200 plus IQs to choose from, and that would be impossible.

My dad was in the army and I lived on an army base when I was going to high school. There were some really smart people who went to west point form my high school. The year before I graduated, the valdictorian went. He also got into Harvard.
In my year, the male and female voted most likley to succeed both went to West Point.
There are plenty of other examples.
There are plenty of people at West Point and the other military academies with 1250's, but there are also a lot of really exceptional people who are just drawn to the army.

Anectdotal evidence.
I have a friend who went to West Point for a year. He didn't like how strict they were, so he decided to transfer. Despite having terrible grades, he was accepted by Harvard and many other top schools. West Point is an "elite" school from what I know.

I don't see why Harvard would accept a transfer with terrible grades just because he was from West Point.
Your story sounds like horseshit.

the most outstanding friend I ever had went to West Point. Cool guy (everyone liked him, and he was student body president), really smart, awesome wrestler and cross country guy (placed in state in both- I trained with him a lot, his not quite elite athletic ability was totally offset by an insane mental toughness), big Christian, second oldest in a huge family (more than 10 brothers and sisters), just as solid as can be. Went to West Point, the general in charge there would call him to get advice on how to deal with his teenage daughter. When he graduated, ranked highest in his class, he was honor grad in Ranger school. Later, the same general at West Point got moved to Bosnia, he personally selected him to come work directly under him there. I've known plenty of people who went to Ivies, most of whom were smarter than this guy, but none of them compare as an all around dude.

Get real. It's not like Ivy grads are "studying all day." Maybe MIT. Maybe Caltech.
I would virtually gurantee that people at the service academies study more than most Ivy-Leaguers. Why? (1) As was mentioned above all of these people take a ton of hard science classes and (2) they amount of discipline and rigor required to complete UG at a service academy is insane.
