Obama has admitted he benefited from AA, and that he was unfocused, did drugs and had sub par grades in high school. He was unfocused and did drugs at Occidental, his transcripts will reflect this. Miraculously, he got into Columbia, graduated with less than a 3.6 but got in Harvard Law. He did it with influence, AA and the fact that his father went there. He needed AA to get on Law Review, and was elected from there to be President, no merit involved. He published no signed legal work as Law Review President, "Constitutional scholar" or "Professor".

Simple question: Did he list himself as a foreign student? Let the transcripts that answer the question.

There are several ways to get into Harvard. The best is they decide to recruit you. They'll even offer money.

Next best is you had an outstanding undergraduate record ~ top grades, top activities, top top (and at enormous state universities too).

Then there are the folks who got in because Grandpa's bequest had a stipulation about his descendants.

Assuming there are any positions left, there are legacies ~ and then there are LEGACIES!

There are folks who are known to be the umpteenth generation decendant of the founders, or the colonial governors of Massachuetts ~ and an almost casual review of Colonial Dames and DAR records will let you know if you have a chance of better consideration (way beyond grades and money) if you mention such ancestors in your application.

Besides being a Harvard legacy (his supposed baby daddy graduated from the school AFTER having been recruited), Obama has ancestors who founded the school. That's what his grandma was into ~ genealogy ~ and she probably even found her only grandson a free ride!
