Yeah but what's that got to do with her potential as a president? 
I would estimate that 99 percent of the people who rag on ivy league educations wouldn't be able to perform academically at any of them, regardless of whether they are in a bonehead course or not.
Your assertion may have held water prior to 1970. IL ed is not what it once was. I would have no trouble wagering that a (successful) hard science major from any randomly-selected cow college would do well in not only core curriculum courses, but in IL hard science courses.
Recall, that
Brooke Shields received an IL education. She majored in one or two of the "-studies" wastes of time.
One can get a perfectly worthless education at an IL school, now that they have so adulterated their core curriculum.
Toss in the effects of affirmative-action picks and the courses required to cater to them so they do not wash out their first year, and what was once an indisputably steep academic slope is now much more accommodating.
Affirmative action picks also demonstrate that a cohort of significantly less academically talented folks can be admitted and graduate, although at a lesser successful proportion than the non-AA chohort, and with less-useful/rigorous degrees.
