I have read that Kerry's GPA was lower than Bush's also

Considering Kerry graduated from Yale, why did he go to law school at Boston University rather than Harvard which is also in Boston?

Kerry went to Boston for law, rather than Harvard, for the same reason that I went to Maryland, rather than Boalt Hall (at U of Cal.). We both escaped from Yale with the theoretical ability, but middling grades, which was the classic hallmark of the "underachieving Yalie."

Though to tell the complete story, my grades were better than his, and my Law Boards were at the 99.5% level, which I'm pretty sure were better than his. (And he's never even had a Supreme Court case, much less than won a bunch of them. But who's counting. LOL.)

Kerry was a bright guy -- that was the price of admission. But he was, properly viewed, a waste of skin. From what I see now, he still is.
