I use to give credence to a person’s academic pedigree……since Obammy….not so much anymore.

Particularly considering Oxford famously don't consider who your parents are when they make admissions' decisions (which is why most of the royal family never went there).


As a Cambridge alum, I can verify this is completely wrong and this Oxford “don” certainly doesn’t know his history.

What are you on about?

They've not used parental background for a long time.

Good one 'don'.

Maybe as of late, but I think it’s mainly due to the headlined, “we are accepting more minorities” narrative which seemingly signals Oxford/Cambridge are lessening their who-you-know networking. But it’s still alive and well.

Don’t believe The Tab.

Clinton's kid went to Stanford, was at the top of her class at a top private school, and did masters degrees from Oxford and Columbia.

She then worked at McKinsey (which is an elite firm) and serves on the board of a large corporation.

In what world would a parent not be proud of a kid who's done all that?


In a world where the kid didn’t have to earn it

Lol, The Tab. My guy knows.

I mean Oxford is definitely less elitist than it was 40 years ago. It's not like it was when my headmaster and teachers went.

Which college were you in? I lived quite close to Emma when I was younger.

Too early to tell about Baron, but compare Trump's other children - who developed their characters over 3 marriages/mothers - vs. Hunter Biden.


Melania is old school AF. Baron will be just fine.

Yet, the Turf Tavern remains the same.

Magdalene. (Emma has one of the best grounds). Then lived nearest to Downing.

God.

Downing was beautiful but my friends disagreed.

Friend of mine studied at Emma and he said he got free laundry. Lucky man.

Were you undergrad or post-grad?
