=== Rory's so-called success in getting into Chilton ===

Okay, I think this is a point which bugs many people and I'm surprised it's not mentioned here. Rory is supposed to be a really smart and successful student to get accepted to Chilton, right? But she doesn't earn any funding, so Lorelai has to go to her parents, that's the whole premise of the show. Okay, maybe Chilton is a kind of school that takes only the best students and then still makes them pay fees. But as soon as Rory starts school we meet Madeline and Louise, two total airheads who seem hopeless academically, which means Chilton *doesn't* only accept the best students. In fact, if those two could get accepted probably anyone who could pay would. So what's the deal here, other than Rory's apparent Sue qualities of course?
