We were also told Bush 43 was a legacy admission who earned a "C" average.
So . . . no.

I saw graduated in your post, and he beat Kerry by a point. Was that a legacy admission to Harvard as well? And a legacy masters?

Dumb is relative. But I'd guess Bush from the powerful Bush clan had an easier path than a black woman.
My impression is that to earn those graduations, you're either very smart or very influential.

Yes. Kerry's father was a Yalie. And his family was wealthy enough to send him to private schools. And well connected.
What. . . are you trying to imply this guy is really a REPUBLICAN!!
Are you asking about Bush's Harvard MBA? I don't think Bush was a legacy admission there. The then son of Congressman and Ambassador to the UN George HW Bush--with a C average from Yale--surely had to "earn" his way in. Somehow.
Once he got in, I think he earned the degree.
