re: #76 HappyWarrior

I always thought it was funny how many self proclaimed “anti-elites” are products of elite schooling themselves. Kayleigh, Shapiro, anyone at NRO, and of course Trump himself. I didn’t go to an elite school. I was public and in state all the way.

Oh—and Jared’s esteemed intellectualism?

Jared attended the Orthodox Frisch School, in Paramus, New Jersey. By some accounts, he worked hard in school, but he was not especially academic. In The Price of Admission, Daniel Golden notes that officials at Frisch were “dismayed” when Jared was accepted to Harvard, since, as one former school official put it, “his GPA did not warrant it, his SAT scores did not warrant it.” Other students in Jared’s class, the official said, were far more deserving. But Jared had a weapon that his classmates did not: his father. According to Golden, Charles donated $2.5 million to Harvard the year his son applied. Just to be safe, he also donated to Cornell and Princeton.
