I had not thought about the Law School Admissions implications of his apparent lack of student involvement — it is a VERY strong point...
We know that Obama’s grades were not good (didn’t graduate with honors so gpa had to be less than 3.4) so we would expect that extracurricular activities would have been an important consideration for Harvard
What did he tell Harvard he was doing? “I was a monk” in the library doesn’t get you into Harvard. (especially without good grades to show for it.)
I feel really stupid. What was his major?
Maybe this is the “cokehead” era and he did nothing buy take, buy and sell cocaine?
I wonder if a guy named Rashid Khalidi made a big, big donation to Harvard in 1981?
Since Harvard is a private school, does that mean they don’t publish a list of big donors?
Maybe someone should look into Harvard Law admissions records and find out what made him a good candidate. Not any old Tom, Dick or Jane would even be able to apply with no more than we know of Obama, in my opinion.
Has anyone ever determined why he let his law license lapse?
