I think it depends upon how you approach it. For example, I read that HBS grads traditionally have a lot of leverage/advantage with McKinsey compared top other top MBA grads. Is it unethical for a HBS grad to fully squeeze out his network grid when applying for a McKinsey role or for other professional opportunities?
Obviously, one cannot expect a job simply because his/her father is the President of the country. However, leveraging one's family network seemed to have happened before, i.e., Ms Clinton getting associate role instead of BA.

The plain honest truth is that she was never considered for a BA position, and was always in the Associate interview process. Lots of Masters degree holders are hired as Associates, particularly in the US (think of people from the Kennedy School, for example). Ms. Clinton was simply never a BA candidate. Period.
