   I knew I shouldn’t have blown my trust fund on hookers and blow!

   OK, OK, it was on books.

   So life is not completely fair? And connections can be just as important in life as objective qualifications?

   Say it ain’t so.

   It would be fascinating to uncover how widespread such “favors” actually run. I used to have a friend that worked in the admissions office at an unnamed law school in LA (and by worked I don’t mean like dean of admissions, I mean she was just a clerk who answered the phone and gave tours), and she pretty much assured me should could get some of my students in if she put in a good word.

   I guess I just don’t get as offended by this stuff as other people. That’s just life and we sometimes need to accept that it ain’t always fair.
