George Bush neither applied to, nor graduated from Yale's law school. He graduated with a C average and a B.A. in History. It's widely understood that he was a "legacy" admission--a common practice at schools with large endowments.

He later attended the Harvard MBA program. But he never studied law anywhere.

Bill Clinton, by contrast, earned scholarships en route to a Bachelor of Foreign Service from Georgetown University, then earned a Rhodes scholarship to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford. He then went on to earn a J.D. from Yale law school in 1973.

You can argue as to what any of this means. But in a strictly scholastic sense, Bush's resume comes nowhere near achieving what Clinton's did. Sort of like their presidencies, come to think of it...
