Forever Harvard lovers just don't want to admit it.

It makes perfect sense that people at Harvard would all get good grades. Are you one of these people who think grading should resemble a bell curve? That sort of weird, regressive thinking seems like it would belong at Hillsdale.

85% of Hillsdale students graduate in 6 years. It has a dropout rate of 10% BTW and a transfer rate of 5%. So basically, 15% of students who matriculate bail. That's a lot of disillusionment.

Harvard's transfer rate is under 1%. It has a graduation rate of 98%.

Harvard grad here: To be fair, that's not what it says. It says it's 100% "unknown" because Hillsdale doesn't collect and report that information.

When you apply to Hillsdale, they cannot possibly discriminate against or for you on the basis of race because they don't know what race you are, as nowhere in your application do you have to tell them your race. Which they manage to do because they take zero tax-payer money and are completely private, which on its own is sort of astonishing. You are admitted purely on merit and potential fit for the school. They also don't keep track of that while you are there.

Hillsdale enrolled black people a full century before Harvard. The first graduating class had blacks in it.

Thank goodness. It (USNWR) should be clearer.

Good for them, although literally no universities discriminate against anyone on the basis of race, so what's your point.

USNWR very clearly says "100% unknown." It couldn't be more clear. PP is just a moron.

Harvard is trying to make up for its discriminatory past, while Hillsdale didn't have a past of discrimination to begin with.

Harvard literally lowered the standards for blacks to get accepted, which is discrimination against non-blacks.

Hillsdale doesn't even accept federal funds to avoid any Title IX obligations. Which the two women it blamed for being raped after phony investigations pointed out in their lawsuits in October.

The University of Michigan and Michigan State both faced sexual harassment claims within the last 10 years. Almost every university has problems with this. But you single out Hillsdale.
