[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a Harvard degree it signals you are smart and/or talented no matter what field you major in.  Among schools that signal graduates are smart and/or talented, a Harvard degree signals you are at or near the top of the pack.  If you have a degree from almost all other other top schools, it signals you are smart and/or talented, but not quite to the extent to make it to Harvard.  [/quote]

That's the old Harvard.

In the new Harvard it signals you're wealthy or connected or the token minority.[/quote]

Ah, the embittered tears of the rejected. Sweet, sweet nectar.

Nice coping mechanism [/quote]

DP and Double Harvard grad here. No, it’s true. Legacies or minorities.everyone knows this [/quote]

Yup[/quote]

Oh good grief. Legacy? 15% of the class. URMs? 27%. Can you add those together and tell the class what you get?[/quote]

False. The Harvard suit showed us that 43% of Harvard’s class is legacies, athletes or related to big donors [/quote]

First, the Harvard data showed 43% of WHITE admits were ALDC.  Get your facts straight.

Second, that misstated fact is complete irrelevant to the idiotic claim that only legacies and minorities are at Harvard. [/quote]

This racist school let in more than 50% of the students backdoor.
This is a glorified country club[/quote]
