Is Hillsdale the new Harvard?

University of Michigan average freshman gpa 3.88. Hillsdale average freshman gpa 3.89. A narrow win for Hillsdale.

How is the diversity of your neighborhood. How is the diversity of your kids’ friends. And your dinner table guests. You phony.

I’m curious what you think that diversity is.

I genuinely don’t care about diversity. And neither do you phonies.

Matches your lack of caring about English language and logic. Good evening to you, Holden Caulfield

Now do the top 400 (Hillsdale) or 1600 (Harvard)

No school is Harvard (not even Oxford) but people are missing the point, which is that “woke” is destroying everything including the elite schools. All of the DEI and CRT garbage needs to stop. It is just Marxist ideology. It is ideological capture of higher education. The Ivy League didn’t used to be so far to the left. This mostly happened after the Vietnam War. The reason Hillsdale turns up in discussions like this is that they didn’t go woke or change their core curriculum after Vietnam. They continued to use a tried and true curriculum that worked for hundreds of years at the best schools, while Harvard folded to the left like a house of cards.

Never once in the history of mankind has Hillsdale just "turned up" in a conversation. It takes great concentration and effort to find a way to bring it up.

The only requirement to Harvard in the olden days was that the applicant understood Greek or Latin, which allowed them to read old books . Around 20 percent of incoming Hillsdale students understand Greek or Latin. That is higher than almost all universities in America. Compare that to the students entering our best universities. The main requirement now seems to be you are a member of a minority group.

It seems like Hillsdale just turned up in conversation here.

Maybe try St. John's in Annapolis, MD if ancient Greek and Latin are your thing.

So weird how people try to connect the world view of ancient pagans to contemporary Christianity.

Hillsdale ranks higher than St John’s. That said, I’d be interested in seeing that comparison. They are both classics schools.

I'd actually bet on Hillsdale becoming a new Harvard over any other college. It has really strong name rec (for its size), it has a lot of influential alums (pound for pound), it already has a $1 billion endowment, and their K-12 charters are feeders. Imagine if more mega rich keep sending them a boatload. Imagine if a mega rich donor or family gives a Bloomberg-sized $1 billion donation in the near future. The more they grow the endowment, they can give sharp Conservative kids full ride scholarships like Regis High School in Manhattan. Hillsdale can become a factory pumping out genius Conservative kids groomed for law, politics and media. Land is cheap in that region of Michigan, their is no limit to their expansion.

You're never going to "fix" the Ivies. They are too full of entrenched wackos.

It is problematic to be an educational institution, whose public relations strategy consists of promising parents that their children will not be exposed to certain ideas. Here are the books and thinkers and theories you won’t encounter, the history you won’t learn. No one is going to think your student is a “genius conservative” when they cannot participate in important theoretical debates in their field of study, because they have not been exposed to these ideas. This is the opposite of what a Harvard level institution does.

Betsy Devos didn’t go to Hillsdale.

Sorry - it was her freakshow brother, Erik Prince, who attended.

She is just a major donor and works with them on the brainwash charter schools.

Which ideas don’t you think Hillsdale students are exposed to? Every curriculum has limitations. I’d rather stress Aristotle than Kimberle Krenshaw.
