I recall the New York Sun ran an article saying that John Kerry was not admitted to Harvard Law School due to his discharge status. The admissions folk were concerned that he may never be admitted to a state bar.
Has the person at Harvard ever been identified publicly? Given Kerry's refusal to sign the form 180, this person seems like the only witness to what happened. |

| I do not believe that person was ever identified. Would love to know if those records were kept! |

Hmnmm...Kerry's father, then his brother Cameron started a tradition, since both of them went to Harvard....
would seem that would have been sKerry's 1st choice  unless something prevented that...

Certainly something was wrong as early as 1973 when Mr. Kerry was applying to law school.
Mr. Kerry has said, "I applied to Harvard, Boston University, and Boston College. I was extremely late. Only BC would entertain a late application."
It is hard to see why Mr. Kerry had to file an "extremely late" application since he lost the congressional race in Lowell, Mass., the first week of November 1972 and was basically doing nothing until he entered law school the following September of 1973.A member of the Harvard Law School admissions committee recalled that the real reason Mr. Kerry was not admitted was because the committee was concerned that because Mr. Kerry had received a less than honorable discharge they were not sure he could be admitted to any state bar.
The fact that Mr. Kerry had cancelled his candidacy for a Congressional seat in 1970 in favor of Father Robert Drinan cannot have hurt Mr. Kerry's admission to Boston College. The Reverend Robert Drinan's previous position was dean of the Boston College Law School. |
these halls are a great resource of info...
Update:Just found this..Kerry's daughter Vanessa goes to Harvard. All in the family 'cept the man himself
