[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another example of the lowest difficulty setting for white males.

He only had an SAT of 1270 and the average Harvard SAT is around 1500.[/quote]

Preposterous comment reflecting no understanding of how competitive universities actually work.  This is not a cookie-cutter exercise.  The Harvard mean is a bit below 1500.  The distribution in the lower percentages is wide but all of those applicants are distinguished in some respects.  Some have extensive international backgrounds.  Some are jocks.  A tiny handful are armed forces veterans.  A 1270 is in the top 15% nationally and is numerically tough to distinguish from the top 10%.  He may not be at the top of the admissions range but he is definitely above the bottom.  He has distinguished himself and he will do well.

It is more difficult to get into Harvard than to stay in Harvard. He will get through with activism and end up in politics.  It is not like he is going into engineering, math, or medicine where intellect is needed. [/quote]

Absolutely correct.[/quote]

It's way harder to master high level math and engineering, which takes years of persistent study and high IQ.

Sending BS tweets and organizing meaningless marches are much easier. Every single HS student can do that.

1270 doesn't even get you into GMU engineering here. That's why no one takes Harvard seriously in academic circles. High intellects go to MIT, Cal tech, and Princeton.[/quote]
