[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do Harvard professors (not administrators) say, off the record, about this policy of admitting students as conversation pieces rather than because they will contribute to the scholarly community? I'm the poster who really isn't qualified to comment on Mr. Hogg in particular, so I won't. It's just that this seems like the way to select dinner party guests, not new members of a university. [/quote]+1000[/quote] I'm an academic and I guarantee you that no Harvard professor is bothered one bit about Hogg's admission. Every freshman class at every school includes an array of kids who bring different experiences and knowledge to the table. Hogg has done more to prove he can fulfill high expectations than most overachieving HS seniors, and much more than many other admits. I find it much more disturbing that the 89th son of an Arab despot who could barely write English was accepted to my university.[/quote]
