[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The record 11.8 percent admission rate for Harvard's class of 1999 is significantly lower than rates at other Ivy League schools, ...“ Has it ever been easy?[/quote] It’s never been easy for your typical kid.

[b]They told us that before about the 1990s, kids essentially signed up for HYP like you would an intramural softball team[/b]. It isn’t like that anymore, but my high school sends roughly 25% of its graduates each year to an Ivy League school. The process remains deeply unfair. [/quote] 100% bullsh*t. Obama was rejected from all the Ivies in 1980 and had to transfer into Columbia.[/quote] Yes, Obama went to that super well known New England Boarding School in Hawaii. Exactly the same. How could we all be so stupid. [/quote]
