Confidential college transcripts and test scores obtained by the
Washington
Post reveal that neither presidential candidate, George W. Bush nor Al
Gore,
were shining students during their college days at Yale and Harvard,
respectively. Although each earned respectable scores on the SAT college
admissions test (a total of 1355 of 1600 for Gore and 1206 for Bush),
neither did that well in their college courses. Both earned a mix of B and
C
grades. Gore's lowest grade of D came in a natural sciences course, while
his top grades were an A in French and English, an A in Visual and
Environmental Studies, and an A- in Social Relations. Bush's lowest marks
were a 70 (of 100) in Sociology and a 71 in Economics, while his highest
scores were High Passes in History and Japanese.


That's pretty interesting. I've heard that today the average for freshman is
about 1050 or so and that has been dumbed down, so 1206/1355 in those days
was well above the average, though not spectacular. I wonder how that
brilliant, knows-something-about everything-Renaissance man Bill Clinton
did? Pretty well, I imagine.
