Do you think Bush is an alum interviewer?

Haha I in no way insinuated that everyone who didn’t go to Yale is a loser. In all likelihood, I will not go to Yale, and I don’t really consider myself a loser. I just think that Yale is a good school and that somebody not giving it a chance because of a particular alumnus it produced is a little sad. Yale has amazing opportunities to offer as one of the top institutions in the country, and if you never attempt to research that or learn anything about it because your opinion is marred by something as silly as GWB going there, that’s unfortunate.

I understand your case that some people aren’t as “sold” on certain products and some are. This is perfectly valid and applies to many who cannot stray from the glory of the Ivy name, but that’s not really what I was discussing at all. I think my comment was a bit misinterpreted, which was probably my fault, but anyway, the point is that I don’t think anything should be eliminated or hailed without giving it a decent chance, and that includes Yale. In my opinion, whomever eliminated Yale because of GWB didn’t give it a fair chance. That is her prerogative and it’s not going to hurt anybody (or herself) in the long run, but it just seems a bit silly.
