She doesn't know her President's SCOTUS candidate.

it's generally easier to get admitted as a transfer, but not sure if there was anything else going on there

They admit absurdly super talented/gifted kids and the scions of the super wealthy. This admissions strategy has caused a lot of damage to the cause of education in this country which should be more democratic.

It's one of the reasons why 40% of Americans support Trump.

I knew there were scams where rich kids got in and were allowed to get a degree. Didn't realize, though It makes likely sense, these dumb rich kids seem to "get smart" and graduate from the toughest schools it big numbers.

She can’t be that stupid that she was trying to pass a Rhodes College person off as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford . Well yeah come to think of it most of those air heads/ wackos that Trump gets up there don’t really have a brain in their head. To their credit though, they are pretty good at lying.
