[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.

Actually this long-winded comment is the one that is less informed.  Top 15% is not competitive for the top schools.   Numbers are EASY to distinguish.

Hogg got in for other reasons.  Just like Jared Kushner did. Deal. [/quote]

Read the whole thing.  The bottom 25% of the upper 90% is a little shy of 1460.  The bottom 10% of applicants measured --SOLELY-- by SAT are often so overwhelming in other respects that Harvard chooses to not count them in released averages.
