how come i keep reading about fresh-faced young actors who 'plan' to attend various Ivy League universities? that woman from the Harry Potter flicks is the most recent 1 i read about. i've heard about others too. forgive me for not listing any.

what gives? are these thespians really that smart? or are they merely well-connected and rich enough to be admitted?

and how do actors do at these schools? i hear about them 'planning' to attend, but how many actually do? and of those who do, how many graduate? and w/what kind of grades?
