Preposterous comment reflecting no understanding of how competitive universities actually work. This is not a cookie-cutter exercise. The Harvard mean is a bit below 1500. The distribution in the lower percentages is wide but all of those applicants are distinguished in some respects. Some have extensive international backgrounds. Some are jocks. A tiny handful are armed forces veterans. A 1270 is in the top 15% nationally and is numerically tough to distinguish from the top 10%. He may not be at the top of the admissions range but he is definitely above the bottom. He has distinguished himself and he will do well.

It is more difficult to get into Harvard than to stay in Harvard. He will get through with activism and end up in politics. It is not like he is going into engineering, math, or medicine where intellect is needed.

Absolutely correct.

It's way harder to master high level math and engineering, which takes years of persistent study and high IQ.

Sending BS tweets and organizing meaningless marches are much easier. Every single HS student can do that.

1270 doesn't even get you into GMU engineering here. That's why no one takes Harvard seriously in academic circles. High intellects go to MIT, Cal tech, and Princeton.

if it's easy to organize a Nationwide March how come we only have had a few of those are for year

Colleges use the SAT as a predictor of whether unknown students are likely to do well. I think he’s proven in other arenas that he’s likely to do well.

Harvard's acceptance rate is supposedly VERY low.

The 4.59 percent admission rate is the lowest of all the Ivy League schools this year.

When did Harvard make the offer?

In the spring, he was vocal about being shut out of these campuses: UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine. Harvard didn't make the offer at that point??? Or did it suddenly come to the rescue after he slammed a Conservative news personality?

THIS, precisely. Thank you for illuminating this for everyone's edification.

Why, exactly, does it matter so much to you? What actual difference does it make in your life? I know this may be hard to believe, but the admissions office at Harvard probably doesn't GAF about conservative news personalities because they just aren't that important to anyone with an actual brain stem.

sorry

I disagree.

THIS is your Harvard - extremely divisive and opportunistic. Hogg is the perfect pawn in this game.

Two days earlier, another end-of-year ceremony had taken place, just a short walk away on a field outside the law school library. It was Harvard’s first commencement for black graduate students, and many of the speakers talked about a different, more personal kind of struggle, the struggle to be black at Harvard.

Your concern for Hogg is touching, but I still don't understand why you care about him being admitted to Harvard. On the one hand, conservatives are all aghast at the inequity of Hogg being admitted over others who are more deserving, but then talk about how terrible Harvard is. If it's so terrible, then why do you care if Hogg or anyone else goes there or how many graduations they have or whatever that has absolutely nothing to do with you?

You're so absorbed in your bubble that you fail to see the big picture. Harvard is as opportunistic as Hogg is. I suppose they deserve each other. And while I'd like to leave it at that, it only feeds into this division. Everyone is a delicate lily! God forbid someone's feelings should be hurt.

Look - Hogg will be a fly-by-night, as will Ocasio-Cortez for that matter. all talk, no real experience, no real action

I have to agree with another PP who said Hogg will be Harvard's darling until he pushes the envelope a bit too far.

But the media just loves to pump them up as the latest reformers, and many people (you may be in this category) are all sparkly-eyed over these self-important people.

not a Trump supporter, btw - just someone who sees it as it really is

And, you're quite clueless about me and didn't answer the question. If Harvard's so terrible and Hogg's so unworthy, then why do you care about either of them?

I DID respond to the question. But the INABILITY for you (and many others) to examine the motivation BEHIND specific measures is mind-blowing! The short-sighted measures posted on these threads are simply silly. Hogg is now another Ocasio-Cortez, a poster boy for the anti-gun side. He will be gone as quickly as he "was created" b/c people love the PR image . . . until the NEXT big PR piece comes along to trump his image.

And while you're all mesmerized by the figureheads presented on the screen, guess what? Kids are still hungry; others are fighting turf wars in our own country. People aren't entering teaching - or, teachers are leaving in droves. Public sector mental health specialists are too burned out to produce results (similar to teaching). Liberals are still belittling Trump supporters, making them even angrier.

Hogg is a pawn, and unfortunately, those of you fixated on him and his Harvard status are also pawns. Get into YOUR community and better it for others. You don't need media coverage to make yourself feel good either. You don't need to tweet about it or post on FB. I don't give a rat's ass about your selfie in the homeless shelter. Do it for the sake of doing it - but do leave your pussy hat at home.

If you have the time and the means (as Cupcake PP claims to have), then put your g-damn money where your mouth is. But if you're like most people, you're lazy; you'd rather watch some fly-by-night mouthpiece talk a good game. She or he is your hero b/c you can simply sit back, watch and claim YOUR side is working for humanity.

shameful

And to the person claiming I'm tearing down Hogg and Harvard before Christmas, who says I even practice a religion? I don't need a once-a-year excuse to speak my truth and to actually HELP people w/o the need to puff up MY image.

....An example of Harvard's "virtue signaling." Had he not been the face of some movement, they would have never given him a second look.

Kyle Kashuv has been just as active, and even more successful, in his efforts to see changes made. I doubt Harvard would accept him, even though his SATs, school record, and ability seem to be better than Hogg's. He is currently in line to be valedictorian of his 2019 graduating class. But, he is not on the "same side" as Hogg, so he will probably be disregarded by Harvard.

Nothing could be further from the truth. You know what an engineer is going to be in twenty years? An engineer. Mastering 1s and 0s doesn’t translate well to skills needs in the rest of the world.

Possibly, but all of the male patent attorneys are alcoholics who whack off in their offices and can’t make eye contact with women...or write a grammatic sentence. STEM appitude does not equal apptitude in other areas.

Male BS in electrical engineering and patent lawyer who knows how to spell “aptitude.”

APPLAUSE. Best post I've read in a long, long time.

The left is always impressed by the optics, the drama... they can't volunteer or do something good for their community without splashing it all over social media. Virtue signaling at its finest.

It never occurred to you that you don't know what those on the left do which isn't publicized -- because that is by definition not publicized?
