Oh no, another application from Hyannis Port!

<p>The Kennedy family association with Harvard is well known, but I just discovered that President Kennedy initially was admitted to Princeton. He didn’t even apply to Harvard. Dallek’s great biography says that because of his rivalry with older brother Joe Jr., JFK had no inentions of heading to Cambridge. Then, after a post-high school year studying in Britain, he changed his mind and went to Harvard anyway. By the way JFK was 65th in his prep school class of 110. Very midling grades.</p>

<p>Haven’t most of the 2nd and 3rd generation Kennedys matriculated at Harvard? JFK Jr. and Patrick were a Brown alums but didn’t Caroline attend Radcliff? Did any extend family Kennedys (the Shrivers, the Smiths, the Lawfords) attend UMass or another public college?</p>

<p>He also attended Stanford business school for a short while.</p>

<p>All four sons of Joseph Kennedy Sr. went to Harvard. Among the next generation, Caroline Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy, Robert Jr. all went to Harvard/Radcliffe. Probably a bunch of others too. I don’t have a comprehensive list.</p>
