Kerry's Yale Grades Similar to Bush's
===========================================
(June 7) - Sen. John F. Kerry's grade average at Yale University was
virtually identical to President Bush's record there, despite repeated
portrayals of Kerry as the more intellectual candidate during the 2004
presidential campaign.
Kerry had a cumulative average of 76 and got four Ds his freshman year - in
geology, two history courses and political science, The Boston Globe reported
Tuesday.
His grades improved with time, and he averaged an 81 his senior year and
earned an 89 - his highest grade - in political science as a senior.
''I always told my dad that D stood for distinction,'' Kerry said in a
written response to reporters' questions. He said he has previously
acknowledged focusing more on learning to fly than studying.
Under Yale's grading system in effect at the time, grades between 90 and 100
equaled an A, 80-89 a B, 70-79 a C, 60 to 69 a D, and anything below that was
a failing grade.
By the Numbers
======================
89 Kerry's highest grade at Yale
88 Bush's highest grade at Yale
4 Number of Ds Kerry received in his freshman year
1 Number of Ds Bush received in his four undergrad years
In 1999, The New Yorker magazine published a transcript showing Bush had a
cumulative grade average of 77 his first three years at Yale, and a similar
average under a non-numerical rating system his senior year.
Bush's highest grade at Yale was an 88 in anthropology, history and
philosophy. He received one D in his four years, a 69 in astronomy, and
improved his grades after his freshman year, the transcript showed.
Kerry, a Democrat, previously declined to release the transcript, which was
included in his Navy records. He gave the Navy permission to release the
documents last month, the Globe reported.
Kerry graduated from Yale in 1966, Bush in 1968.
