My dd goes to a girls private school w tons of Dem voting families and nearly every girl is ecstatic at the thought of spots opening up at top colleges bc intl kids either can’t or won’t attend. They are HS juniors. |

Why. Why do they want to go to Harvard of all places? This is a place that strongly values international students, scientific research, science and many other things that Trump is against. What are they going to do at Harvard and why? |

This is not hard information to find: Princeton: 1969 Yale: 1969 Brown: 1971 Dartmouth: 1972 Harvard: 1977 Columbia: 1983 50 years. And it wasn't really all that popular with everybody, including one of our sitting supreme Court justices who famously wasn't too happy about women going to Princeton. But sure, exclude entire categories of people. |
Entire categories of people are excluded every year with sub-10% acceptances. |
