How Jackie Kennedy Filled Out Son JFK Jr.’s College Application — And Fought to Keep Him from Flunking
John F. Kennedy Jr. may not have been the most dedicated college student, but mom Jackie Kennedy did her best to ensure that his years at Brown University were successful.
According to documents published by Page Six, Jackie filled out her son’s 1978 application to the school while he was in Kenya and even kept in touch with his professors to see that he stayed focused on making the grade in his classes.
For the application, the former first lady listed her late husband President John F. Kennedy’s occupation as “government” and downplayed her son’s famous family ties in the autobiography section.
