OK, so he got accepted... isn't Harvard like 50 grand a semester? Who's paying for that? And if he's academically a stump, how is he going to pass? Is Harvard known for rubber stamping media darlings through their programs? He is going to either flunk out and be drowning in student debt or survive to be last in his class and drowning in student debt. Sounds like this is the christmas ribbon on the end of a big metal dildo to me. |

Don't care, I'm not aware of anything good that has ever come from Harvard, and I'm not expecting that to change. Higher education in America is a joke, just like the rest of the education system. All will whither blister burn & die when the collapse comes. |

Elsewhere in Boston...
"Rising Democratic Star Ocasio-Cortez Urges Students to Become Activists Congressional candidate, CAS alum: persistence, courage needed to achieve social justice" "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a rising star in the Democratic party, urged BU students to become activists for social justice despite the odds when she spoke at the Tsai Performance Center on Monday. Using her own life and long-shot congressional campaign as an example, Ocasio-Cortez (CAS’11) told the crowd of nearly 500: “I could not bear to be hopeless anymore, so I chose to do something…. On June 26, we upended the political establishment.” That’s when the 28-year-old stunned longtime US Representative Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th District, which includes areas of Queens and the Bronx. A first-generation Puerto Rican American long focused on social injustice, she ran on a platform that included Medicare for all and criminal justice and immigration reforms—at first campaigning between shifts at her restaurant job. How 'bout that Econ degree? |

Harvard 25th percentile is 1460
Average for Michigan State (Michigan's biggest university) is 1204. So the 1270 is right in running for a big state university but way low for Harvard. |

But do they also "take care of everyone" on an academic standpoint as well? If Hogg is a middle tier student and he can't cope with Harvard's work load, will they wash him out or just rubber stamp him with D minuses until he's the world's problem? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Colleges don’t look at weighted averages anymore, though the will consider AP/ IB scores even if they don’t give credit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Has Harvard been open with the alumni about their personal experience with the T.M. Landry mess? One thing about Harvard is they tend to do what is in the best interests of Harvard. Sometimes that means (in my opinion) defending something they fucked up. However, the other side of that, is (and you can observe it in threads like this) is a lot of people that think Harvard is fucking up, just do not like what they are doing (or understand why Harvard does such things) Universities in general do a lot of stupid liberal shit but Harvard is far from the worst offender. They are just the one you hear about most. Everyone has an opinion about Harvard (but very few have any real experience) and even when they do the exact same things most everyone else is doing, they make the news. As long as those two things keep happening, Harvard is relevant. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've heard Harvard doesn't fail anyone. C or better, no matter what. Again, of the 2 million or so kids going to college every year, Harvard is usually the most competitive normal school and gets about 2000 of them. What results would you expect from a cohort that is mostly the absolute smartest and most motivated kids in the country? We are not talking about kids who did really well in school, we are talking about kids that made the news for how smart they are and what projects they did. Considering it is a student body of valedictorians that speak 3 languages, play an instrument well, have published research and were class presidents, it is a pretty tense place sometimes. A lot of high strung over achieving people. These are not often people who fail. |
